If it only was restricted to computer programers... Accounting firms are outsourcing, radiology is now being handled overseas, even the work handled by stock analysts are being performed by those living outside our borders. Nothing will be done until legal work is also handled outside our borders.
Many selfish unpatriotic people that frequent this forum say that this is good because it lowers the costs of goods here in the united States. That may be true. But those who are presently insulated from job exports will find themselves soon competeting with all of those displaced workers who are taking courses right now to occupy those unexported gigs. These people speak lovingly about how their Pocket PC has more features for a lower price. Wow, they saved ten bucks. But those displaced workers are still getting unemployment compensation, they will demand health care services, they will be using up the parks and other services without "paying their fair share" - those who saved ten bucks on their new PDA are paying ten thousand dollars in additional taxes, fees and fines. Does anyone really think that government will get smaller as fewer Americans can dump one third of a six figure paycheck into the tax system?
Then we have national security issues. Personally I think that it is a crime against God and Man to have such a lousy tax system that requires more labor put into it than all of the labor consumed in the auto industry. But now that individual tax returns are being handled by foreigners, it seems that our 1040 forms are really nothing more than ways for the US government to encourage her citizens to shovel cash into large cargo ships and unload them overseas. I don't feel comfortable with non US citizens having so much information about something like the stock market, personal income, investments, business financial projects, legal matters, personal medical data, and other information that has absolutely no legal protections since it is being handled outside the judicial grasp of the united States.
For those who love outsourcing because in the short run it saves them a few dollars, don't ever call yourself an American or consider yourself wise.
