Very well Mr. "No Right to a Job." These corps are not getting much of my sympathy when they come to me as a consumer or when they want me to salute some tax payer subsidy for them. People should do business with entities that support the economy from which they derive their income.

If you don't like BOA, or the offshoring policy of US Bank, there are many local banks you can do business with.

There is no reason to buy from the offshoring Dell when locally there are good white box computer makers.

If you need to buy computer programming or professional services, a local firm is probably going to charge very similar to what the Indian firm will. (That 5 to 1 salary differential is not going to lower prices for the US end customer. It is going to pad the bonuses of CEOs and executives.)

Hell, it's easy enough to just build your own anyway.

BTW I went the white box route on my last computer. No problem. Maybe I'll use the Dell configurations as a model and then make it myself the next time. I've just downsized Michael Dell. Never again with that traitorous company.

My comment was just that when faced with the prospects of saving millions of dollars in benefits costs, taxes, etc..., and a chance to earn a profit, most companies are going to outsource. I didn't remember saying that I thought it was right or not, just that it is a reality in today's business world.
