That's why the CEO's see nothing wrong with Outsourcing, they get those huge bonus's...another thing that ticked me off is good old Viacom/CBS and how they pulled their channels from Dish network because Dish refuses to pass on the cost of their greed of 4 times the rate of inflation!

These channels and CBS stations, owned by Viacom, have proposed excessive rate increases which we feel are unreasonable. Viacom is demanding rate increases nearly 4 times the rate of inflation for various cable channels, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in fees that would increase the cost of our services to you.

IMHO Viacom can keep MTV and MTV2 because they are nothing more than rap stations. Viacom is holding DISH network hostage to cover the exorbitant amounts they pay their artists. Another clear cut case of corporate greed - a 40% increase demanded by Viacom is indeed wantonly injurious terrorism to our economy!
