Hey, the insurance companies already do it. You just *think* the IRS has 'personal' data. What about your health insurance company? They have all sorts of personal data...it's being outsourced as you type...

$40,000 per in Florida equals about $65,000 out there. It's much cheaper to live down here, but then again that will change when enough liberals figure that out and move down here and ruin it.

"This is disgusting, sharing my personal information with all sort of Third World countries."
I can see a tax revolt on the horizon if this gets wide play in the media.

Supposedly we could try to repeal the law of supply and demand. Or ban the use of international data circuits. Or we could follow the socialists in Europe and demand that databases be licensed and periodically reviewed by the government.
To: John Lenin
Can we outsource lawyering? That would put a dent in the Democrats' coffers!

Already being done. There aren't many jobs that can't be outsourced.
To: Cultural Jihad
Or just demand personal tax information on American citizens remain within the boundaries of America. (Where theft and misuse of said information can be prosecuted) Simple.
To: Black Agnes
Thanks for the heads up.
I'll check with my health insurance. If my insurance is sharing my data with other countries, I will lobby my company to switch to another insurance.
Too many questionable business practices are not being exposed.
We need to shed sunshine on all the people who affect our lives, not just our politicians.
Al Gore had no idea how empowering the Internet would become when he invented it, and I hope this is just the beginning.
Informed sheeple will become empowered sheeple.

You nailed it on the head. I'm currently looking into the possibility of purchasing a local business, something like commercial refrigeration or HVAC. Jobs that they don't train for in China or India, and jobs that have to be done on site.
Pretty sad to have to think this way. We have been betrayed.

I heard that some of those legal call centers and "credit counseling agencies" are actually in Manila and New Delhi. I'd love to find out if that rumor is true, my attorney would go spastic over that.

At this point, I will not advocate any government interference, unless laws are being broken.
Popular reaction will shame these companies into doing what is best for their customers and workers.
To: Beck_isright
"just what the hell will we do for economic growth?????" A: Create new things. In the long run, computers and low cost manufacturers will reproduce any process and any thing the creative mind can come up with. NEW IDEAS are where value lies. If you cannot think, you will be competing with an Indian programmer or a Chinese factory worker.
It is a pity our schools are largely useless.

You're kidding, right? 'Popular reaction'? LOL. If American accountants weren't so fat, lazy and greedy the poor corporations wouldn't have to do this you know.
To: Beck_isright
There are huge data pipelines running to the so-called Third World, and well-educated professionals there are providing needed services to Americans. All the rest is merely Chicken Little drama.
To: Brad Cloven
You don't think Indians and Chinese can or will be able to think? That sounds kinda racist. They can 'think' just fine. Once we 'prime' their economies with our money they'll do just fine. They won't make the mistake of exporting jobs or importing foreigners to work more cheaply as we've done. (Try to get a tech job in India, even at Indian wages) We'll be screwed however.
To: NoControllingLegalAuthority
Plumbing, carpentry and electrical unions control entry into those trades. By the time all the relatives of current union workers and the affirmative action types get the apprentice jobs, you are out of luck. Period. Sorry, pal.

'Popular reaction'? Dream on.
To: Black Agnes
Exactly. With efficient mass production, and the costs of transportation and local tech support, most consumer items it is cheaper to throw them away and buy new ones than it is to get them repaired.
To: John Lenin
There is a good chance the Indians will lose the forms and the IRS will have to sue them.
To: Cultural Jihad
I'll do my part.
I do business with this accounting firm, and I'm also in a position to influence the selection of health insurance provider for my company.
If only 0.1% of Americans e-mail their accountants, they can stop this in its tracks.
