Should companies who outsource their work to other countries be heavily taxed?

[QUOTE="Joe, post: 769155, member: 9"] ...saw this story in the Wall Street Journal today where a Virginia based company outsourced its jobs to India for a fraction of what they would pay an American worker You can listen to the abstract of the article as well. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.wsj.com/articles/next-wave-of-remote-work-is-about-outsourcing-jobs-overseas-54af39ba?page=1[/URL] Thing is, if companies are going to eliminate American jobs, why not just tax them the same amount they save by outsourcing these jobs? That way, there's no financial benefit or incentive for them to outsource. And the jobs along with the taxe paid by the doemitic employee would remain at home. What do you think? Should comopanies be able to outsource jobs overseas without penalty? Or should the government 'lay on the wood'? [/QUOTE]
