The consumers are the job creators. If jobs get outsourced then guess what? People will spend less money when there are less jobs.
It's a race to the bottom for first world countries.

Uh, no.

The fact that corporation can produce goods and services at a level you cannot compete with does not lead to the conclusion that they therefore took your job from you. There is no logical connection between the two.

Your argument implies that you are entitled to a job. Something cannot be taken from you unless you had it to begin with. So where did this job that was yours and yours alone come from? Did God bestow a job upon you? Fate? Mother Earth? Where did you get this job that the corporation took from you? Where did your sole ownership over this job come from, such that when the job was lost you are entitled to compensation for it?
You are correct, under our system anyway. It is because no one is guaranteed a job that safety nets evolved. Industrialization hasn't taken anyone's job, but it has taken our ability to live off the land as a society. We can't "go westward" and begin a new life, through agriculture, as we did in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
