"The whole thing should be shut down, and the money should go to police and fire services," Lockyer said."




he, he, he...


Oh, the irony!!!

They do this because they want businesses to set up shop and employ their citizens (who then pay the taxes). Why do you think china has been so successful? They encouraged foreign companies to set up shop in china to employ their citizens.

Meanwhile, in the USA we have been getting though on business. Raising taxes, more regulation, healthcare laws blah blah blah. Then we wonder why the companies decide to go to India, Mexico, or China who are bending over backwards to cater to them.

Just take my business as an example. If I were to hire an american programmer I'd have to comply with a myriad of employment laws. There is also the risk that the employee will get pissed off for whatever reason and sue me. Did I mention all the tax laws associated with hiring employees?

All of these issues are completely eliminated by hiring a foreigner. With a foreigner all I have to do is tell them what to do and when they are done I pay them for the work they have done. If anything goes wrong then no worries on my part. Its not like they are going to sue me. Hell, they probably can't even afford legal counsel.
