If anyone here believes that a business grad from Bhopal can analyze the balance sheet of a US company just as well as a Harvard MBA, then I've got some gold mining stock to sell them.

But then again, there are many who call themselves conservatives and turn right around and raise taxes (tariffs), and bloat federal power to force me to buy from their cronies.

These so-called "America-firster's" slander US workers when they say that we can't compete with those elsewhere.  The facts are that Americans are the best educated and most productive in the world. Schlafly may think that her talents could be easily replaced by those of a journalist grad from say, the University of Havana, but the rest of us have a lot more confidence in the market value of our abilities.

Who says an American can't get by on $12k per year?

Well one of the big factors involved in the outsourcing to India is that the US government subsidizes the offshore projects. ...Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a U.S. government agency that helps American businesses invest overseas and encourages economic development in emerging markets, to provide loans of up to $250 million per project.. I am an America firster who wants the immigration laws enforced so we are not importing H1B and L1 foreign guest workers specifically to increase the American unemployement numbers and who thinks that if producing stuff outsde the USA and importing the products to the USA is such a wonderful idea why does it need tazpayer funding?

No, I do not say the US worker can not compete in a free market but I do say the current market is a rigged game with the American taxpayer hit on to subsidize shipping jobs offshore. reference article for above quote is at Here.
