While Kentuckians are talking about corporate give-aways to attract companies, presidential aspirant John Edwards wants to build a Berlin Wall to keep employers from leaving the country.
"No American corporation should be able to lift up, go overseas, and hire children or slave labor to do their work," Edwards said.
Somehow, I don't think President Edwards would open his barbed-wire fence to corporations who pledge to only hire consenting adults. Again, we just need better policies to attract companies to our state and make staying in the country more efficacious to them.
That most likely means switching away from income taxation and toward just taxing consumption.
