Do you really want to see Hillary Clinton as President? Do you really want to see the Democrats take control of this country for the next forty years? Because that's EXACTLY what is going to be the result of this insane pursuit of profits at all costs, without any regard for the well-being of this country or the inevitable revolt by the voters at the polls

What the hell are you talking about? You do not make any sense!

In a free-market economy, the consumer reigns.

Don't buy products from the likes of Direct TV or Microsoft if you feel so strongly about this.

I don't make the rules, and I don't recall The Bush administration, or any Republican for that matter, is pushing for limiting outsourcing.

Since you didn't understand the first time, I'll try again and make this as clear as I can.

Joe Sixpack loses his job building washing machines to Mexico. His kid ends up losing his "hi-tech" job to China. Joe's daughter-in-law, who is married to his kid, loses her tech support job to India. Now Joe is in debt for his mortgage and car payments, his kid is still in debt for student loans, and his kid and his daughter-in-law are moving back in with Joe and his wife, since they can no longer pay their rent. Needless to say, Joe Sixpack and the rest of his family are more than a little peeved by this turn of events.

Along comes Howie Dean, ranting and raving about how this country has turned its back on American citizens by allowing Corporate America to ship all of our jobs to China and India. Joe Sixpack, his wife, his kid and his daughter-in-law all vote in the next election for Howie Dean and for a bunch of other Democrats who promise to "do something" about this trend of outsourcing and offshoring American jobs. Joe Sixpack's neighbors, who are all in a similar position, do the same, resulting in a victory for Democrats. Now do you get the picture?

In a free-market economy, the consumer reigns.

In a nation which refuses to defend itself from the government subsidized mercantilism of other nations, the consumer becomes unemployed/underemployed/underpaid, and single-purchase trinkets offered at low, low costs are hardly compensation when keeping a roof over one's family's head remains so expensive and the need so persistant.
