Offshoring Argumentative Analysis

Nikki, I agree with your comments. Corporations have definitely benefited from offshoring. By cutting production costs, offshoring firms are able to undercut their competition and choke them out all completely. Consumers pay less for products they need, but it negatively effects the economy. I definitely feel there should be some legislation passed to balance the unfair advantage. I was disappointed to read about how many bills that attempt to do so rarely get made into law. In 2004, two bill were introduced to block offshoring corporations from taking advantage of federal funding and tax incentives and both were not passed (Gupta and Sao, 2009, p. 659). It really is upsetting that corporations are able to relocate their production outside
of the company in order to increase profits and still hold out their other hand for federal money and tax incentives.
