CANTON, N.C. (AP) — Labor and liberal groups are in western North Carolina to fire up demands for politicians to end tax incentives for U.S. corporations that create jobs overseas.
The AFL-CIO, MoveOn.org and others hold a news conference in Canton on Tuesday urging Congress to pass legislation that ends tax incentives for outsourcing and replaces them with a tax credit for keeping jobs in America.
That has been an issue pushed all this election year by President Barack Obama.
