The only ones not suffering are the wealthy outsourcing CEOs and the countries that are rapidly modernizing with the money the corporations are spending there, while our infrastructure crumbles.
America's middle class has become the unemployed welfare class, and will soon become the new homeless class when Congress finally stops the unemployments extensions.
The other 'nation building' (actually destruction) in Iraq and Afganistan continues unabated via bombs and dead bodies. The world's most expensive military base sits in Bagdad.
The Limbots and Beckbots will accuse you of being a dirty socialist America hater who wants to see capitalism fail.
They'll say this as they ignore corporate America's attempts to control the government in order to eliminate competition and try their darnedest to feed at the public trough.

But what about the content of the post..that corporations are responsible for infrastructure ?
It would seem the OP is still marching and carrying out the orders of the WH talking points to
demonize corporations.
Why not pay attention to the mostly liberal policies that drove businesses overseas to begin with? Why not examing the 35% corporate tax that drove companies abroad and made the US the 3rd highest corparate taxed country in the West? Why not look at all the aother federal regulations imposed upon businessed by federal agencies?
It would seem that without addressing these items that the OP's only point is to sling hyperbole.
Corporations are not responsible for our infrastructure. The government is.
The government chose to ignore and spend money in other places.
Corporations build manufacturing plants and office buildings.
The rest is up to the government.
The corporations have outsourced the money making apparatus (jobs), which feed the gov. Why do you think that cities and states are bankrupt? They had plenty to spread around when the tax dollars were rolling in. The corporations have bankrupted the nation, except for the wealthy execs of course.
We could get rid of the outsourcing to China and India by implementing a fair system of taxation and fixing the problems with the unions. The corporations are outsourcing overseas because it's cheaper. They get taxed crazy here, and they would have to pay unionized workers with inflated salaries, so they go looking for somewhere cheaper. If the federal government would bring the corporate tax rate down, then there are right to work states in the United States that would appear attractive to these corporations. They would move back to the USA and hire people in those states.

The corp tax is not what drove them over there. They want to take advantage of tax breaks and cheap labor to pad corp profits which are then funneled to the top execs. They win - American workers and the nation loses.

The gov should impose higher taxes on each outsourced job in order to equalize the labor cost to the American worker. They should also cap exec pay to a multiple of the average corporate worker salary. These 2 things would stop the oursourcing of our future. It is continuing and will not stop unless these steps are taken.
