Forgive me, but I dont really understand why people in this country deserve jobs more than people in another country, particularly if theyre more skilled or asking for less money.
It's quite simple really. The jobs in America are possible as a result of the infrastructure in America. The infrastructure in America was predominantly paid for by taxes on American citizens. Since American's paid for the infrastructure that made it possible for the "Job Creators" to create those jobs, why shouldn't they have first crack at those jobs?
Oh, but you were going to point out that the corporations paid taxes which also supported that same infrastructure? They didn't really. According to this site, corporate taxes on account for approximately 2% of the GDP, while taxes on citizens account for closer to 8% of the GDP http://www.deptofnumbers.com/blog/2010/08/tax-revenue-as-a-fraction-of-gdp/
