It doesn't surprise me that those as intellectually bankrupt as the free traitors affect a phony "anti racism".

The cause of Free Trade. Cheap Labor, Cheap Life, Cheap Flesh !

It's hurtful to me. But, I will live. It does teach me with more clarity about the type of people who think it's a good thing to be sending money to communist China to employ prison laborers.

What can ya do though? This is mostly an anonymous forum, and those who want to slander you, can pretty much do so. It just makes me grow stronger in my convictions.

"Cheap Labor"

That about sums it up, that's what it is all about.

A lot of people on this thread see this as only another insignificant trend; I see it as a fundamental shift. Until high skilled American salaries our deflated, they will be candidates for outsourcing in the future. Right now it is hitting techies real hard; in the future it may be accountants or another highly specialized field.

As we become more entrenched in the world economy more high paying jobs will be "outsourced" to increase bottom line profits.

Will new opportunities incubate enough new high paying jobs to take their place? Will average displaced Americans be able to retool at an ever increasing rate to keep up? Will this generations, or maybe the next, children be the first to expect less than their parents?

Honestly, I don't see how this is good for America. However, to many I'm probably just being sure sighted naive.
