Again, we let it happen..
As I have posted in MANY other articles on this topic. We are allowing these greedy corporate pigs to destroy our country.
Outsourcing, no matter what someone will try to argue, only hurts America. It will never make it better here. So many "experts" will try to convince you it will, but the argument is flawed from the beginning.
The whole idea of sending work to countries where we can't compete somehow benefits us is ridiculous! All it does is cause more people here to require public assistance to survive. It burdens the rest of the Americans that still have jobs. It hurts EVERYONE in our country...everyone except those garbage executives. We can NEVER compete, no matter how low we allow our own wages to go.

I have a pen pal that lives in a province in Russia. She works as a teacher and she makes about $75.00 a month. This allows her to pay rent on an apartment, eat, and even enjoy some pleasures once in a while like a movie or something. A modest living, but with only $200.00 a month she could live like a queen.

Over here, rent alone is on average $600-800 a month for a crappy apartment in most regions. So how can we compete?? We can't.

The answer is to start joining together AGAINST these companies that outsource. Start to protest in front of their headquarters, start to boycott their products. Force them to cut that CEO's 10 million dollar a year salary and bring jobs home instead.
