A pencil is a little wonder-wand: a stick of wood that traces the tiniest motions of your hand as it moves across a surface.

Current tax law allows companies to benefit in a variety of ways when they move jobs overseas, including deducting the costs of closing American plants. The proposed bill would have raised taxes on companies that move manufacturing jobs out of the country and provide a tax incentive for companies that decide to bring them back.
