Let me understand this... all of you so-called "good conservatives" are upset because Bush is against using the powers of the government to dictate to businesses how they can and can't operate?

 CORRECT! You must appreciate that not all freepers are retarded libertarians and free market uber alles types. The real world is immune to air fairy theories.

It's not a level playing field. Indian programmers entire pay is less than what American programmers pay in taxes alone. That coupled with the enormous cost of complying with innumerable government regulations makes us non-competetive. The American wage is inflated as a result.

This problem was caused by the government to begin with. "Retarded libertarians" indeed.

Wow, witty comeback.

For the record, I don't think companies should be outsourcing IT jobs to India. It's counter-productive, and hopefully, the market will eventually self-correct.

That said, the absolute last thing that any of us should want is more government intervention in the hiring/firing process. Trying to get a law to stop a business from doing something you don't like is more appropriate for a whiney liberal (see: affirmative action policies) than for conservatives or libertarians.
