Its sad that alot of people blame buisnesses for outsourcing jobs overseas and expect them to have some sort of moral obligation to provide decent paying jobs here in america because there is a need for them, would you sell your products at a loss or reduced rate because the "needs" of society outweigh your personal need to make a decent profit? Why not?
Also the govenment plays a major role in pushing jobs overseas due to taxation, regulatory policies (think sarbaines oxley, my company spends about 1million dollars a year just to stay in compliant with sarbaines oxley ----, doing audits, etc.) and then theres the issue of import/export terrifs. So really the government is encouraging companies to move factories and jobs offshore, also people that bitch about jobs going overseas are the same people that shop at walmart and bitch about high prices of everything, this encourages companies to cut costs in order to increase their market share, bla bla.

As it is now, there's no real incentive to hire Americans, and no incentive to not import things. Both of these are controlled by the government, and they've fucked up. That's why I have a local, service based business. Try having a computer or a guy in india come paint your house. The only way they effect local service is by opening up the borders, which they've done, but the mexicrats still aren't business owners, so they just work for me.

Look at anything the Chinese do outside of big cities. Absolutely appalling. Their kids are going have 6 fingers and 12 toes and 7 tumors on their brain. All of this influx of money will end up being spent quickly to fix their absolutely band aided infrastructure.
