If you owned a business and were able to cut your labor costs by a factor of ten, would you pass the savings on to your customer?

I'd have to, especially in a competitive market based economy, like the US.

I'm still waiting. If I were holding stock in a company that was rushing offshore, I would insist on an accounting of where the cost savings are going. They'd better be going into price cuts (to deliver more business) or research (to potentially deliver more business).

I've always given corporate executives the benefit of the doubt, but my confidence is definately wavering.
