Heidi Alexander said "The National Association of Manufacturers says there are 22 million Americans who are hired by companies that do business not only in the United States but overseas. I say to the Senator from New Hampshire, I think we want companies that are principally in the United States that do business overseas because what is the alternative? The alternative is they are in Singapore or they are in Great Britain or they are in other countries around the world and they are not in our country. They are not paying taxes here, and they are not hiring people here." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
