Why did Republicans oppose the Democrats’ anti-outsourcing bill last year?

The bill (the Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act) would have:

1) ended tax deductions for expenses incurred when companies shutter U.S. operations and shift the work abroad;

2) imposed a new tax on products once made in the United States but now manufactured by foreign workers; and

3) offered employers a two-year payroll tax holiday on jobs repatriated from overseas.

The bill failed to garner the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. Outsourcing of jobs continues.
