The middlemen (contract agencies) pay the Indian and Pakistani programmers small money, bill the customer big money and keep the difference. It's public knowledge and everyone knows it.

And, what specifically is wrong with this? Don't employment agencies that place American workers do the same? Doesn't any middleman --- selling groceries, paper, steel -- do the same thing?

What other basic features of capitalism and the ability of people to be paid for their labor do you hate?

You really ought to take a remedial reading course.

Please re-read my post. My bitch was with the middle men taking more than their fair share.

If the customer pays $100 per hour for contract work and the H1B worker gets paid $25, that leaves $75 per hour for the middlemen and that stinks.

I love Capitalism. I hate robbery.
