    Obama’s 'Say No to Bangalore and Yes to Buffalo' rhetoric has US firms lobbying against it.

    "On June 5, about a half-dozen tech trade associations discussed strategy for stopping a tax hike on multinational corporations, which would come if the Obama administration succeeds in changing a law that allows companies to defer taxes on overseas revenue of their subsidiaries," the report said.

    This week, at least three tech trade associations are flying in executives from their member companies for meetings with lawmakers and White House aides, the newspaper said, adding that they will lobby against the proposal in those meetings.

    The Information Technology Industry Council, TechAmerica and the Semiconductor Industry Association are coordinating the visits, it said.

    Mr.Jay "Mediocre"By: Aniket | 09-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward Mr. Jay..and likes of himEnough about the arguments of cheap labor from India. Do you know the quota for H1-B is only 65K and the US is losing millions of jobs every month. it would take 5 months for a million h1-B. Its all a political stunt and nothing else. Additionally Indians are way smarter than the average American programmers here. and they do not work for cheap. so say the arabs start hiring hiring US citizens..for arabs they will be cheap labor..but people like you will say..arab hire them coz Americans are talented!Shame on Indians like U ..instead of standing behind your brothers u and the secular likes spit venom. before calling anyone mediocre look at yourself..what gives u the right to call them mediocre? Indians all over the world are hard working people. nothing comes easy to them.
    Obama is doing the right thingBy: Jay | 09-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward Businessmen all over the world are the same. They are more interested in their own profit. They do not hesitate to cheat other people or country for that. It does not take much talent and effort to become a data-entry operator or database administrator. But US companies hardly prepare and take their own people but import cheap, easily exploitable technicians from India. With slightest provocation they shift their operations abroad to increase their profit while the same time advertises to “buy American” when they can use it in USA despite the fact that majority of their production centers are abroad (e.g General Motors). How Indian politicians and techies will react if Bangladeshis and other people from less developed countries start pouring in and take Indian jobs in India? Obama is right to protect the American jobs in US and that will do a great favor to India too. Exporting mediocre and below mediocre technicians to US is hurting real Indian talents to flourish.
