Reaction from an Indian
Your line-
"The fact is that large corporations like GE, HP, etc, are looking for cheap slave like labor to improve their margins and return a good share price."
does not go well in the sense that you think that
people on the other side are working on slave like conditions.

You pay $1.45 to buy a newspaper. I pay Rs 2 to buy newspaper in my country, India. But then
$1 = Rs 45 roughly. So does it mean that I am
getting newspaper very cheap than you ie,
2/45= $0.04 ?

No.

So in similar way if some IT worker is getting
some salary which turns out to be much less when compared in terms of dallar with some american doing the same job, why you blame that Indian guy as if he took your job.

He was in IT earlier when american CEO were not out sourcing the jobs.

So blame the american CEOs who are outsourcing the job to cut their cost. But then can you blame the average american who is buying a cheap DVD player made in China. After all that DVD player would have costed much more if manufactured in USA.

So Americans should not complain about job outsourcing when american society enjoys the benefit of buying cheap products (because they were manufactured outside).
