"Which is opposed by a Corporate America more concerned about the bottom line than the welfare of the country it supposedly resides in."

Many in "Corporate America" view themselves as global "citizens of the world" and don't care about anything having to do with their own nation or culture. The people who assend in Corporate America are made from the same cloth as those who go to Washington and look the other way as our culture is destroyed. They are all, for the most part, the scum of the earth.

The fact is, the US is considered a mature and saturated market, with the emerging markets in Asia and the former Eastern Bloc countries. So companies are doing whatever they can to gain a foothold into these markets. Part of that price is using local workers. Add in the recent technological advances and there you go. I don't think that much can be done about this, other to adapt. Sometimes all you have is a bad choice and an even worse choice to choose from. I think protectionism is the "even worse choice."

We should all ascribe to Kucinich's proposal and take the profit out of business as he wants it taken out of health care.

RUck these "global corporate citizens of the world" who have forgotten that they're Americans. Make 'em keep the jobs at home.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I understand your position, but I think that government's interference and nightmarish regulatory system and extreme minority activists deserve some of the blame for these companies moving. (Besides being "scum of the earth" that is. ;)

Well said and unfortunately true.
