It's crap like this that we need to introduce a tarriff. Companies love the american consumer but they hate the american worker. I'm sure that if we made them pay the difference in labor costs plus a percentage it would become "economically feesable" to move our jobs back here. Hell, even impose a tax on a company operating a call center out of country, we need to pull back into ourselves more or we're going to end up everywhere but here.

the US is supposed to be government by, for and of the PEOPLE, not government by, for and of the CORPORATIONS. period. fuck corporations, banks and companies and the cocksucking politicians who do their bidding.

@Monkor001 They(the companies)seem to be ignorant of the fact that the American consumer and worker are one and the same. BTW, in the late 1920s and America passed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, and then other countries passed their own tariffs in retaliation; What good would a tariff do America with our massive debt to China, and our humongous trade deficit?

@Monkor001 Not a very prudent attitude, Monkor. Remember, the universe does NOT, nor ever will revolve around America; I'm not all that crazy about American jobs being shipped abroad because while the outsourcers talk about cutting costs, by exporting jobs, they (the manufacturers) are firing their customers, but are too stupid(or greedy) to care, plus, if the rest of the world DOES burn, America WILL be affected in some way or another, mark my words.

[Monkor001]

@mannecyberguy It can't in my opinion. Back then people called themselves "citizens", now most consider themselves "consumers" or "civilians" . Me you and everybody else own this country, we're sovereign citizens, a nation of KINGS. That is what's slowly being taken away from us, that's why I lament exporting valuable jobs. As long as America stays happy and safe the rest of the world can burn if it so chooses.

[mannecyberguy]

@Monkor001 That is a very good question, Monkor, with so much of our manufacturing base outsourced overseas, I don't know if we could repeat what was accomplished in WWII.

[Monkor001]

@mannecyberguy I could easily be indeed. I'm surprised that the lack of manufacturing capability in america isn't a national security issue. If we cannot produce what we consume we are not sustainable. I work an industry that can't be overseas due to time constraints so I'm lucky but I'm not blind to the loss of our manufacturing capability. Could we repeat what we accomplished in WWII? Or even come close?

[mannecyberguy]

@Monkor001 You know, Monkor, the last part of your comment could very easily be applied to yourself; how will pulling back into ourselves solve any of America's problems? Why not try to get S.3816 made the law of the land, and discourage these multinationals from constantly exporting American jobs overseas? If you have a chance, go to your nearest library, and check out a copy of Lou Dobbs' book, "Exporting America".

[Monkor001]

@mannecyberguy Is bringing manufacturing and other good paying jobs back to america when we're in the middle of a recession with record unemployment and home foreclosures, bank bailouts ect being isolationist or is it simply providing a living for people in this country.

Don't be a fucking moron.

[mannecyberguy]

@Monkor001 How much more do we need to pull back into ourselves? Do what Japan did back in the 17th and 18th centuries?

You know what we need...
