And the hell with the rest of us, right?

Painful as it is to be enduring offshore outsourcing's effects on domestic employment, any attempt to legislatively restrict the practice would instead give our international competitors, who are under no such restriction, a cost advantage. That situation would lead ultimately to job losses anyway - or possible company bankruptcies - as companies lose market share because of noncompetitive pricing.

The legislated alternative of forbidding job outsourcing is like building a fort on a sand beach that's washing away below the fort's foundations.

The whole "free-trade" argument really cracks me up. The people in favor of it love to go on and on about how wonderful it all is, while completely ignoring the fact that the people who are watching their jobs being shipped overseas are still allowed to vote.

Do you really want to see Hillary Clinton as President? Do you really want to see the Democrats take control of this country for the next forty years? Because that's EXACTLY what is going to be the result of this insane pursuit of profits at all costs, without any regard for the well-being of this country or the inevitable revolt by the voters at the polls.

Tell you what, since the corporations don't owe any loyalty to this country, and the politicians don't owe any loyalty to the people of this country, why don't you and your buddies go out and hire Ghurkas and Chicoms to fight in your next foreign war? Fair's fair and all that.
