[quote=jsteele]As the WSJ articles says, "In fairness, Mr. Obama has other, much more substantial proposals that are aimed at the same general goal of reducing the attractiveness of operating offshore for U.S. businesses."

The tax break is small, but it is symbolic of a larger issue. On the larger issue, Obama and Romney are strongly divided. Obama would use government resources to preserve jobs in the US -- the auto bailout being the best example. Romney believes that is "picking winners and losers". Romney's track record demonstrates that he will move jobs offshore if that will provide the best financial return. Obama wants to use the power of government to keep jobs in the US rather than see them moved, or at a minimum, take steps to stop encouraging the process.  Romney would be less likely to use the power of government in that manner.

So, bottom line, the issue is not this small tax break, but a larger philosophy. Do you think government should be involved in protecting American jobs? If so, vote Obama. Do you believe that government should stay out of business because its involvement generally makes things even worse? Then, vote Romney.
