Comments:
<0> harry lack of technical knowledge
<1> or english
<1> they cant speak english, let alone jargon
<0> harry I work at, what would commonly be called 3rd level support
<2> I work with alot of indias that come here to canada. Thay do have some english problems.
<3> SO when people through the "there is not really free trade : out there I think everyone knows that.. Its just a concept a goal, we want to be more free trade than we do un free trade.
<4> some of the folks I've dealt with in Bombay speak English better than a lot of Americans...
<5> hey
<0> that is true too
<1> I work in the NOC of of an international customer contact company
<0> but we have 2 Indans here as programemrs that are both heavy of accent, but geeks
<0> Indians
<1> we have centers in bangalore
<1> in indonesia, in europe, in liek the canary islands or something
<3> through = throw the "there is no free trade" thing at me.
<1> philipines
<3> They are being silly
<2> dehuman I suspect there is a voip link between there center and the united states?
<3> They are presuming its an absolutist view.
<0> DeDannan I haev chatted with Singapore based people a lot. and they too speak very good English
<1> harryvv: there is some convoluted mess of circuits and traffic
<4> pilgrim`, yep
<0> what gets me...sorry to say...are the Deep South, Detroit of Baltimore calls I get
<3> Of course its not going to exist absolutely in a imperfect world and in some cases it may not even be desirable.
<2> dehuman I have voip experaince with pbxs
<0> America has some almost ditinctly seperate languages
<3> But in sum, or in majority of situations of trade, relatively free trade is the correct way to go.
<1> listen its simple
<1> from a tax point of view
<6> Its not there just isn't free trade. There isn't anything even remotely resembling free trade in the US. There would be an economic collapse if you seriously tried to implement Libertarian ideas. Its mostly just a fig leaf by business to push reactionary policies.
<3> \Think for a second, What is a tarrif ? Its a tax on YOU AND ME if we choose to buy a foreign product.
<1> are these companies operating in other countries to avoid paying taxes in the country where the service is provided? yes
<1> should they be penalized? yes
<3> Excessive duties on goods are stupid
<3> We are only ****ing ourselves
<1> why? because regardless of the agents' seat, the calls are in america
<2> like some cruise liners register there ships in some tiny carribean country
<1> software engineering? different story
<7> well, I think that 'lazzie's faire' (sic) economics benefits lazzie, ubt is hardly fair...this has been shown by precedence..i.e. if biz could be more profitable without ruining the environment, then there would be no need for environmental laws...but precedence has told us there IS a need for environmental laws
<2> software engineering is highly exportable
<3> If they do buisness in america they have to pay some minimal taxes at the least.
<1> but something as clear as customer contact companies
<7> funny that
<3> ***uming they make profits
<1> yah you cant tax indians who sell software to the US
<4> simple..why operate a call center paying people $8/hour..when you can operate one paying people $2/hour?
<8> Abusive Domain or User
<7> ...same goes for labor, etc, and so on, but hey...lets just repeal those laws, you know...because they aren't profitable in the short term
<1> you can tax companies that use foreign labor to subvert US taxes and labor laws in the execution of services to americans
<1> no conflict of morality there
<3> The company may be registered in the cayman Islands but the stockholders live in the usa and pay dividend taxes, there is I am sure a tax on boarding ships regardless of corporate headquarters.
<0> Idres Shah in his work on his alHaj: Onward to Mecca written in the 50s , discusses his late 1940s work as a smuggler along the Spainish coast- pure capitalist answer to tariffs
<2> how many of you watch loe dobbs from cnn?
<0> not I
<2> Lou Dobbs that is?
<6> ASIAK many large corporations in the US pay zero or even negative net taxes, because there are so many loopholes
<3> And All American companies should and with tax reform will be paying taxes on the ratio of profits they make in america at the least
<1> my philosophy is simple, The UNITED STATES is the market that everyone drools over. You should have to pay to play here
<3> they wont get a free lunch in america if tax reform is p***ed.
<1> whatever
<3> It should be low taxes
<0> I do nto watch national news. -baised AND stupid is just too much to bear
<7> hey, you know what if we enacted this... trade over international borders has the same regulations as interstate trade...oh, well, that leaves out everyone because of the environmental and labor laws...ooops...and, if we did do that american consumer prices would tripple..oh gawd can't have that
<3> but they should be treated as other companies.
<1> counting on your democratically elected government to save you
<2> ALot of movies are filmed in BC because of the generous tax breaks
<6> Should we legalize prostitution
<3> a lot of them make their money off no state or local taxes when they do buisness from a foreign country
<1> harryvv: haha, all
<0> khin you looking to outsource?
<7> can't be having americans paying an amount for a product that it actually is worth, now can we
<3> But if they put up a single storefront in California they are taxes.
<3> d
<6> pilgrim` I'm going to start a conglomerate
<1> guest: its more like
<2> meanwhile alot of movie studios in southern california are empty
<1> the prices will by higher
<0> take out, or more a sit down place?
<3> If they sell by mail only or through the internet they dont have to pay california sales tax.
<1> but not so much so that they get the same profit margin
<3> But if they have one store front open here, they do
<0> prostitution by mail now THERE is a thought!
<1> companies would have to take a hit in their margins
<1> i've seen it happen
<1> i've seen them restructure
<3> Lower all taxes by being fair and eqitiable in taxing all.
<0> Free Cali has the most scw ball taxes on earth
<1> i've seen them continue to be successful in the wake of government (de)regulation
<7> I am pissed at google,yahoo and microsoft...they put profit over principle when it comes to china
<1> albiet with lower margins
<9> who doesnt put profit over principal in china
<3> anyway bush has proposed some tax reform in that area.. but I need to do something
<3> bbiab
<2> Guest1 how so?
<0> my state has ONE thing right at least: NO SALES TAX!!!
<4> harryvv, motion picture companies are owned by layers and layers of media conglomorates/transnational companies...
<1> the sales tax is the only right tax
<1> screw an income tax
<1> i'm not socialist
<2> DeDannan i see
<2> anyway i need to go out and find a job because im making min wage.
<7> how so?...google, yahoo and M$ are all offering censored search to china consumers at the request of the chinese govt.
<0> I personally like the idea of a thing costing $4.95 and I can lay down a 5 and not worry about it
<7> you listen to the news much
<1> have you seen the chinese cartoon thing
<7> no
<1> that patrols chinese message boards
<1> oh its sweet
<1> it like automatically posts to forums
<0> thing is; products are no cheaper here, the retail price is exactly the same but...when I bougth my iBook it was a lot less out of pocket for me
<1> basically like 'big brother is watching you'
<5> How much is the Marxist NY senator profiting from Impeached Clinton accepting at least $1.6 million from the United Arab Emirates, including $300,000 from a Dubai sheik. On Jan. 17, 2002, Mr. Clinton was paid $300,000 to address the Science, Technology and Arts Royal Summit in Dubai at the invitation of Crown Prince and UAE Defense Minister Sheik Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
<7> thats funny
<0> ka CHING!
<4> pilgrim`, oh the gov't will make it up somehow..for not having a sales tax...
<6> the marxist NY senator huh.
<0> Clinton had one talent: campaign fiannce
<7> heh...gee the fox parrots are blaming the democrats for the port deal...gee,couldn't see THAT one comming
<5> In Sept. 2005, the New York Sun reported: "When the library opened last year, a computer display in the exhibit halls included information on some, but not all, donors. The Saudi Royal Family and the governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar all gave $1 million or more." Rodham and Clinton are bring home the bacon in buckets!!!
<6> its hard to even laugh at that one
<7> just like the democrats took money from abramoff just as much as the republicans did
<0> DeDannan they do. the best winners on this lve in Vancover WA and work in OR. No WA income tax, no OR shoppign tax
<7> hahaha
<4> across the border in TN, folks love saying.."we don't have a state income tax!"....of course their sales tax is nearly 9%...and their property taxes are higher...but they dont have an income tax :)
<10> When did paying off credit cards become terrorism?
<10> http://www.shns.com/shns/g_index2.cfm?action=detail&pk=RAISEALARM-02-28-06
<2> I would have never excepted a penny from any royalty.
<0> propert tax here...outragious
<10> Enjoy of the FEMA camps
<5> Now their hiding the UAE $$$$ donors at the Clinton Little Rock Legacy Library and Laundry $$$ . . .The paper noted that after it published a previous list including Mr. Clinton's Arab donors, "the computer display was shut off. It has not been restored."
<11> so the UN is an enemy of the USA?
<5> the news media called the offices of Mr. Clinton, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Charles Schumer, Rep. Peter King and the Anti-Defamation League in New York, inquiring about the appropriateness of Mr. Clinton taking so much cash from a country that boycotts Israel.
<2> really
<12> nuke the UN!
<6> the UN is not completely controlled by the US; therefore it is an enemy, in many estimations.
<4> no..the UN is an agency of the USA...and typically, a not very well run one...
<7> yeah, and abrahmoff gave millions to democrats toos, and and and the democrats BRIBED Rove to out plame
<12> I think I'd go for higher sales tax and lower income tax.
<2> anyone here watch seriana?
<6> but yes, the UN is usually well subdued by the US. sometimes you have a rare case like Iraq
<12> Is Syriana on video yet?
<11> you cant commit treason by siding with the UN against the USA then
<1> http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2006/02/chinas_virtual_cops_pinpoint_web_dissent_mure_****ie.php
<1> here it is
<12> My buddy just leached down all the latest DVD's from the video store. Will check it out, if it's on video.
<0> commonly attributed to Javier Prez de Cullar, the former secretary-general from Peru. Someone asked him how many people worked at the U.N. He thought for a moment, then gave his answer. "About half."
<1> actual link http://news.ft.com/cms/s/0ca61c36-a024-11da-a703-0000779e2340,_i_rssPage=60b10cd4-c8f2-11d7-81c6-0820abe49a01.html
<6> sounds like a very precise, serious answer.
<5> Hamas Ho hillary has absolutely NO credibility when she criticizes the UAE Dubai Ports World. the Marxist NY senator and her pig husband have been taking money hand over fist from the UAE, Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar.
<12> I'd like one of those cushy jobs, where I luxuriate at fabolous parties and get payed money for just being witty -- just knock out a profound and well considered comment now and then.
<13> oh wow, can you say hate ?
