You can't lower their taxes any lower than zero

And you can't get much in the way of revenue from a population of paper hat workers.

So what do we do? Yank Social Security out from under the old people and then get rid of their medicare?

Without the healthy tax revenue (income, sales, real estate and so on) provided by people with decent jobs this country is fucked.

It's as simple as that.

The smart thing would be to make it more, not less, expensive for them to outsource and they'd come running back like lost puppies.
