The cure for outsourcing is simple. Congress should pass a law saying that no CEO of any US company can make more than 15 times the average wage of his employees. It certainly would be a cut for the CEO if the average wage of his company's employees was 5,000 a year, as it is in India. Congress already has passed a law limiting salaries to CEOs, though companies then began giving stock options to get around the cap. With the lousy stock prices the past 3 years, that's no bargain. This would be the perfect solution because then everyone can suffer equally....or be rewarded equally.

You wanna hear a giant sucking sound? Enact that law and watch how fast every blue chip company in America leaves US soil!

My cure for outsourcing is simple, too. If most of the people you hire are not Americans, you're company is NOT AMERICAN. You cannot hide behind the legal and security protections of the United States when you are a de facto China-based or India-based company.
Your executives can live in the squalor of the third-world countries they exploit.
American Express should be required to change its name to India Express as its corporate call centers are now based in that country.
To be considered an American corporation, the majority of your employees must be American (What a concept!).

I actually would prefer that we improve teh business climate in america and decrease regultaions to provide more productive jobs. Further neithe rDemocrats or Republicans would ever agree tothe legislation you propose. My propoasal is designed to appeal to Republicans and those in teh middle of teh road it will improve the business climate. i furtehr dislike the idea of regulating what business can do in cmpensation policies for their employees.
