As long as the Republicans continue to be hateful towards gays and feminists the "conned"servatives will think they are patriotic.

Nobody deliberately put American labor out of work. Whatever it is that we have to sell, there has to be someone who is willing to buy it at the asking price. The traditional quality of American goods has been matched by others at a lower price. Taking the automotive industry as an example, the quality fell while the price rose, consequently, the general public decided to buy foreign cars - and that public included the auto workers themselves!

Politicians have it within their power to renege on all international trade agreements and ban all imports. That would be fine for those industries which depend upon domestic consumption, but it would put all exporters out of business immediately.

We need to do the kind of things that we did during WW ll. Each of us must set personal desires aside and decide collectively what is good for the country as a whole.

It's the opposite, it's unpatriotic to sell out American workers and move businesses abroad. It should be either prohibited or so heavily taxed that couldn't profit off the backs of American workers. Republicans are PAYTRIOTIC in that they support outsourcing to make a profit

Hope this helps

You must know that the US is also considered as an outsourcing destination or also called as 'rural outsourcing.' Offshore outsourcing helps small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs in the US compete with major league players out there. The very root of offshore outsourcing is consumer's demand for a product or service that costs less. So, to answer your question - outsourcing also benefits US workers in the form of online contracting, freelancing, or small sourcing.

Obviously not, but if you consider that the most irrational ideas are the ones getting the most attention because those that champion them are yelling them very loudly using the most corporate friendly corporate-centric media machine ever allowed to dominate the previously public owned "airwaves" in the most basic of social hijacking of a public right to know, not the corporate necessity to distract, destroy and demoralize public sentiment against corporate malfeasance.

Given the pandering to the dividend entitlement elite by the corporate friendly regressive crowded theater fire shouters on the "no extreme is too extreme for a nuanced racist GOP" anything that increases corporate profits for shareholders and dividend entitlement political hacks, is usually bad for labor, depresses wages and leads directly to more outsourcing.

I'm not from England, but I have worked in manufacturing for most of my life, specifically in making press tools for the automotive industry.

One of our customers, a fairly large car company increasingly opted to sent work to a tool makers in the east rather than us, the reason being that they were cheaper.

Then they gave us a job modifying a kit of tools from this eastern tool maker, and when we recieved them, we were so shocked at the poor standard of workmanship on these tools* that the boss called the customer in, and said words to the effect: "If you want this standard of quality, we can match their price easily."

The customers answer was that he wanted our quality at their prices. That is the kind of stacked deck that both American and British manufacturers are up against.

*One example of what was wrong with these tools, for those in the know about press tools. The dowel holes for the punch blocks were drilled out of position, so rather than plug them up and put them in the right place, they just welded the punch block onto the dieset.

This means that when the piercing punch needs replacing, it can't just be done by the press setter. It has to be sent off to another tool makers and be put right.

As for the call centres, well I have had conversations like this.

American companies wouldn't have to outsource jobs if the costs of doing business weren't continually rising in this country due to the taxes and regulations that make operating at a profit nearly impossible with minimum-wage American labor.

The American economy is built on a competitive, capitalist model.

If you are competitive and capitalist, then you are American.

If you are an American, then you are patriotic.

Government intervention in the market has allowed many industries to become noncompetitive in the global market while still sucking the last bit of juice from the corpse.

Other countries are competitive in many industries.

The market will always equilibrate and eliminate the noncompetitive.

Equilibration can be painful.

Pain drives innovation.

America is innovative.

Innovation will make us competitive again.

If we are competitive, then jobs will return here.

If jobs return here, our economy will be more stable and will stimulate the growth of the middle class.

Stable growth of the middle class benefits our nation.

Therefore, sending noncompetitive jobs to other nations is patriotic and benefits our country.

Go ahead, invalidate my logic. Pull out your truth tables and show me that is logically impossible for my premises to all be true and the conclusion false. I doubt you know how.

i've got faith that every person individuals could be patriotic. Patriotism isn't approximately blind allegiance. now and lower back my u . s . makes me ill with rage at what it does...despite the fact that if this is my u . s .. this is our national relatives in a manner. yet you are able to decide directly to sense despite the fact that in case you like - it is your splendid as an American. African individuals are a factor of the U. S. and helped build this u . s . - why shouldn't they be patriotic? Who hasn't continued problem? very few communities have been taken care of properly via the U. S. on arrival - actual of each u . s .. Racism and bigotry exist everywhere, in each nationality, in each lifestyle and creed - discrimination isn't consistently approximately shade, each scholar of history could know that fact. many human beings did no longer sense very American till 9/11 or till they travelled overseas - you are able to sense (rightly) disenfranchised - yet you're American at your center. participate and tension substitute - this is the yankee way. improve solid and be a voice = be heard. Or as somebody else right here pronounced - it is your u . s .. Yours. Why enable them to take it from you? Why provide away your ability? If that's broken - restore it. tension substitute. all the greats, despite the fact that if black, white, brown or beige - all have created substitute. they did no longer watch for issues. no longer something fixes itself. every person has had a coarse time of it different than the wealthy. this is often stressful for a minority team - despite the fact that shade they take place to be. no one provides ability away everywhere in the worldwide. Take my ethnic team - now a politically useful team - Irish individuals. Do you think of Irish Catholics weren't discriminated against and burned out of their properties in the U. S.? Irish Catholic church homes have been burnt to the floor. (I incredibly have related a link approximately it) So the Irish fought and grew extra ideal. They compelled the powers that be to pay attention them and to take hem heavily. And now they are the powers that be. that's the way of issues. via the way - It seems in accordance to polls in the clicking that sexism is extra of a known tension in the U. S., somewhat than racism - could I no longer be patriotic via fact i'm a woman American?

Everytime we export something we put a foreign worker out of work by the same theory. Trade goes both ways - you can't build a nation on trade and then start whining as soon as one element doesn't go 100% your way.
