The corporations already create plenty of jobs, overseas.
Corporations are not going to leave the wage slaves in those countries. They will come back once the tea party destroys the middle class and the wage slaves are made in America
Absolutely. Why do we continue to give government subsidies to corporations that off shore American jobs? Isn't that terrible for Americans. Why would they do that? Is it because politicians work for the people who pay their salaries? Could it be that basic? Do you think perhaps we need campaign finance reform to get all big money out of elections?
Do you think unions might have something to do with this?
Nope. The vast majority of jobs being set over to China are factory/assembly positions that are very rarely union. In China they have next to no labor laws, can pollute pretty much all they want, and the main issue is they are paid around .35 cents an hour. It's a greedy right wing corporate owner's dream. Unless we enact strong restrictions on outsourcing, or the right get their way by destroying the middle class and turning america into a 3rd world country, it's going to keep happening.
When we arrive on a domestic population willing to work for .50/hr then you'll see corporations keeping jobs here rather than outsourcing.
...in other words, don't expect outsourcing to stop anytime soon, if ever in our lifetimes.
We live in a global economy and the world needs to come together on common labor practices and currency.... Similar to the European Union but on a larger scale. Nationalism is becoming less and less effective in today's world. We can't simply outlaw outsourcing of jobs as that would kill corporate wealth and earnings, shareholders' stakes would plummet, and hiring would slow down even more. China and India will never agree to such a thing though because their dirt-cheap workforce is what is driving their explosive economic growth.
We need to create an economy where it becomes cost-effective to hire people locally rather than internationally which is hard to do when the cost of living in other countries is so low that .50/hr is doable (even though that is still a super-low wage in China). I'm going in circles.
