For every employee they have its one person less on unemployment.
Why should they be required to pay more ? They should get cash back / bonuses for hirering anyone on unemployment

Oh, are the poor victim huge corporations threatening to take their ball and go home? Good... they can get the fuck out then. Hopefully the door hits them on their ass on the way out. Look, if G.E. doesn't want to pay American taxes and wants to go overseas that's fine. There would still be a demand for the kinds of services they supply, so the solution seems simple ... let another company take their place, and slap some import penalties on G.E.'s ass to make sure they can't use slave labor in under-developed countries to keep living conditions down for the industrialized world.

Look, either we get forced to compete with guys in small Asian countries for jobs ... which means moving down to their standard of living ... are you OK with that? ... or we solve the problem of large corporations using these guys to gain leverage over labor and governments.
