Microsoft To Move Jobs Offshore

 

Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steven Ballmer said the world’s largest software company would move some employees offshore if Congress enacts President Barack Obama’s plans to impose higher taxes on U.S. companies’ foreign profits.

“It makes U.S. jobs more expensive,” Ballmer said in an interview. “We’re better off taking lots of people and moving them out of the U.S. as opposed to keeping them inside the U.S.”

What Obama does is opposite of what government should be doing to resolve the crisis. It would be advisory to reduce taxes to stimulate economy. Instead his policy is bombing economy with newly printed money. Therefore Ballmer's decision is not surprising.
