- Commodities but because of cheap labor...
-
The whole argument of Americans not having skills is a bunch of bologna. It is hard for them to get an education in Computer Science when they can hire someone in India or China for $300-$3000 a year...
The reason why the United States is in debt is NAFTA and all of the manufacturing leaving for cheap labor. When a big Corporation can make Millions in profits by paying 13 cents an hour (the average wage in China) why would they want to pay the minimum wage in the US and all of the other taxes ect. Europe is not the center of the financial world it is China now.
Also another note, the PLA owns most of the big Companies in China, so they are not only making money from slave labor they are building up the largest military on earth. Plus they use people in prisons making them work for free. Plus the fact they use child labor to make toys for the wonderful 'Mao-Mart' here in the USA...
With all of the illegal aliens in the US taking jobs from American's who are working for cash not paying into the tax system is placing the burden on the middle class.
When you have seen entire towns dry up and blow away when all of the jobs went South to Mexico leaving them out of work with no money only a fool says Americans will not work. Manufacturing is the backbone America was built on. You must not be a American citizen to make comments like that about Americans plus it is very insulting.
The whole bottom line is anything that can be performed on a computer can be offshored to some 3rd world country cheap and nothing more. The skill sets in the USA are second to none. When a company brings in H1B visa workers and will not hire and American because of price that is out right wrong.
When you are offshored, you will find out what it is like to be put on the street. The gall of you to say that is totally wrong and not true. - Posted by: Linux User 1 Posted on: 11/05/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
