“Schumer’s bill would also impose a $0.25 excise tax on any customer service call placed inside the United States which is transferred to an agent in a foreign location. The fee would be assessed on the company that transferred the call.” Right, because the company would never dream of passing that cost off to the consumer. ---

All for it myself. Get some american kids to answer the damn phone. any drop out idiot can read a screen and tell me to reboot the pc 4 times, then not fix the issue and bump me to level 2 assitance. I am not a rude guy in real life, but I have no problem telling someone to stfu and transfer me to someone I can understand. Lets see it happen. ---

Lets see it happen. lol yes. I hate talking on the phone with someone I can’t understand. I paid off / cancelled a credit card … well attempted to. I couldnt understand her, and I kept saying, “exscuse me? I didnt get that”… she copped such an attitude with me… I ignored it the first time but after the second time I lost it. I then tried calling back 3x and ended up with her on the phone each time and just hung up. I waited till the next day to finish lol. ---

Ya your probably right, rather than just lowering taxes and making it cost effective to make the call center jobs in the United States, keep taxes the same and add a penalty for outsourcing. Good idea. ---

so you want to lower taxes? what government programs would you like to no longer have in order for that to happen? you can’t just lower taxes for no reason. and the penalty portion of it is there so it becomes more expensive to have the calls outside of the country then stay inside the country. oh but the bill is never gonna pass. ---

> [@It's my birthday](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/its-my-birthday/32312/11): > > Must not…take… bait… 14 page…rant… Agreed, that list is way too long. Lets just do a hypothetical example as to why this is a bad idea. You buy an HP computer; HP warehouses their customer service reps in India currently, but due to the penalties they decide to move the operation over here. Now the cost for this service has grown exponentially, so HP decides to do one of three things: They either a) hire less service reps, resulting in very long wait times when you call, b) raise the prices on their products which you are buying in order to cover the differential, or c) they do both. ---

If you lower taxes and fees enough where its cost effective for companies to employ internally you’ll gain revenue through their income tax. Also, you’ll increase employment if they stop outsourcing and start hiring internally which would lessen the need for welfare programs. It just seems fishy, how a state can wait so long to do nothing. There are non-necessities that have become necessities and instead of thinking of ways to invite business in they think of more ways to keep it out.
