Re: U.S. Workers Cost To Much
In my opinion, it is not just American workers cost too much. It is also companies knowing that they could ship jobs overseas and pocket millions while customer service and support go in the bucket.
So besides screwing American workers, they are also screwing the customers as well.
Best way to hit them is in the pocket. If enough people stop patronizing these companies that outsource OR if enough of these employees in foreign land cost companies money due to obtaining and using customer information illegally, we will have a shift back to the mainland.
I can dream, can't I?

As long as there getting there service cheap they can care less where it comes from & whats going on behind the scenes. Perfect example, if Americans were so concerned about American jobs they would stop shopping at Old Navy & Walmart where 93% of all the goods are made in foreign countries. Most just dont care. |

Your absolutely right, it is hard for me to care when it between cheep prices and doing without because unlike you I am not a rich American that can afford to shop and boutique stores. I guess too worried about saving for the future and make sure my bill. Oh I wish I can be like you, you must have the to spend more so you can gloat "Buy American". To me you are so self-absorbed to realize if was not for Old Navy and Wal-Mart and the jobs they bring, the same people will be living on castoff and Good Will. |

Heh,and I bet that spiffy ford or Chevy SUV,in your driveway, is made with 95% foreign parts. We also have Universities who prefer enrolling aliens on visas rather than native born US citizens.

Wal-Mart is a good reason why this country is going to hell in retail. They undercut local small mom-and-pop shops and force them to work for them only after they drive them out of business. With that instead of buying items from this country they bring their items in from other countries and stamp "Made in America" on them. And are all for the customer until that customer becomes an employee and is stuck on either a pay-cap or without health insurance.
I applied there. They would hired me until i told them I wouldn't accepted their pay cut from what I make now for the same amount of work, and I wanted the same health benefits. If Lowe's can provide me with my health care and a salary without outsourcing our shit like Wal-Mart or bring most of our products in from other countries Wal-Mart can do it to. |

You forgot,they don't have to hire you. You also forgot, that they got no problem finding enough people to work for the wage that they are offering. No one is forcing you to work for walmart and no one is forcing the to pay you more then what law says they have to

I guess you missed what it's to be an american company. Being an American company means you make as much money as you can for your owners. The owners are not general public, or the employees but shareholders.

That statement would have been kind of funny if it was not so sad ... because it's sooooo wrong. You must be new to America ... Welcome! |

| ...and of course we all know that Unions are a bulwark of fairness and debate, employing the doctrines of democratic voting:

Oh wait, the Unions want to remove the secret ballot...hmmm.
If you honestly believe that a union is any different from a corporation, you are incredibly stupid...congratulations.

The "American thing" which you so proudly mentioned has nothing to do with fairness and equality.
The "American thing" is to make as much money as possible in as little time as possible by ANY means neccesary.
(and it is not just American)
Don't be so naive ... |
