Just one reason...


Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked an "insourcing" bill from Democrats that would have ended tax breaks for companies that move jobs overseas.

The Bring Jobs Home Act also would have given a tax incentives to companies that bring jobs back to the United States. The measure failed to advance on a 56-42 vote, with 60 votes needed to end debate on the bill.

Because there is a lot of money to be made with Communist China all the while spouting about Free Market Capitalism out of the side of their mouths.

They complain about government policies effecting business, but yet support Communist China Government policies when there is money to be made.

Because corporations can make more money this way and the GOP cares more about corporations and their dividends than they do the average person. I honestly do not understand how ANYONE could vote Republican in the next election.

Here's one good reason and it's right in your link...oh and this happened back in July 2012:


"Republicans were considering supporting the insourcing bill until Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he wouldn't include any GOP amendments."

President Clinton believes PNTR will help steer the communist nation towards democracy. For the United States, freer trade with China means U.S. farmers and manufacturers can make money by selling products to billions of potential customers.
