You don't get it do you. It is exactly those high skilled/high tech workers that have made offshoring of jobs economically feasible. Whether it be automated assembly lines that no longer require highly skilled workers to man them to the communications technology that allow for programmers in India to work for US based companies. The Technology boom is the "culprit", not government. High tech whiz kids are responsible for millions upon millions of “American” jobs being eliminated or automated to the point that an un-skilled Mexican peon can do the job just as well and much cheaper than an AFL/CIO worker in Detroit. If you want to blame someone blame the folks now crying that their programming jobs are going to India.
I have run a business for the last 30 years. I,ve dealt with you so called "skilled labor". People that believe that if they show up every day the are entitled to high wages when in fact minimum wage is above what they can produce.
You're right, nothing you say can convince me and only because, with all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about.
I'm off to bed. I have to get up in the morning I have a business to run. My employees depend on me getting enough sleep to insure everything runs smoothly so they have a place to work.
Goodnight.
