During the Senate debate this evening Gabriel Gomez highlighted that companies who move jobs overseas hurt the economy. He discussed giving those companies tax incentives to move jobs back to the United States.
He also favored giving tax incentives to encourage companies that moved jobs overseas if they moved jobs back to the United States.
Gomez was elected Director at Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc. in February 2008. During his tenure records show that a subsidiary was set up in India.
SEC Filings of Keystone Automotive subsidiaries lists Keystone Automotive Operations (India) Private Limited registered in November 2008.
Company Name: Keystone Automotive Operations (India) Private Limited
Cin: U74200KA2008PTC048448
Registration Date: 28/11/2008
Registeration No. 048448
Employees at job review web sites have vented about jobs being moved overseas:
Keystone jobs began to be sent to India. Now the cronies are using fear tactics by telling the A-P and A-R staff that if they tell anyone about their jobs being moved to India they will be fired and loose any severance.
Advice to Senior Management – First things first, close the India operations and bring American jobs home. It’s pathetic that you even sent these jobs overseas. People will work a lot harder when they don’t fear losing their positions to another country.
Cons – Outsourcing of jobs to india.
Maybe Gomez could give us some background on his thought process which lead the company to set up shop overseas and not put his faith and trust in the people of the United States.

Where were you a few months ago, when I documented how Ed Markey destroyed millions of high paying jobs with his trade votes? It was just me and another guy supporting Lynch, while everyone else whined I was being mean to poor Mr. Ed.
Then Markey has the unmitigated gall to say he wants to bring manufacturing back to Western Ma. Of all people to say such a thing, made me want to puke. He said this with such a straight face, I thought Ed must be a good poker player.
Quickly switching to the debate, for Markey’s sake, I hope nobody watched it, because Gomez gave him some good shots. Like saying he was a proud to buy his first home in Massachusetts. Poor Mr. Ed, reminded of his primary home purchase, in Chevy Chase, MD. Or how Markey paid a lower tax rate than his assistant.
How about when Gomez said Ed Markey wants to run against other Republicans such as Mitch McConnell, Newt Gingrich, or Gerald Ford, b/c thats how long he has been in Congress. Gomez reminded the voters how Markey raised the debt limit 31 times while voting himself pay raises. When Markey was elected to congress in 76, the deficit was $800 billion, now it’s $17 Trillion. “Sir, you own this deficit” Gomez said to Mr. Ed.
Someone was pulling the string from Markey’s back, we heard the same BS about the rich needing to pay their fair share, end subsidies for Big Oil, George W. Bush, and NRA is bad.

who strikes me as completely devoid of any knowledge of policy or history, has never heard of two guys named Reagan and George W. Bush, each of whom tripled the national debt for no good reason.
And I hardly think it’s unreasonable for members of Congress to get some pay raises over the course of several decades.
johnk says
when the Republicans ran the committees and were the only ones who could move legislation forward they ran the country into the ground. But it’s Markey’s fault. That guy is just a clown, empty suit, just completely ignorant.
