Where is capital being invested as a result of cost savings/higher returns made from offshoring?

Have you checked the stock market lately? Corporate profits were up 51% last quarter over the year before. If you'd invest in the stock market and quit complaining, you'd be having an amazing year. Then maybe you could start your own business and hire some of your union friends at $50/hr, 4 hours a day, or whatever their going rate is.

I invest in the stock market.

How much higher would my returns be if the trillion or so dollars invested overseas had been invested domestically? Stocks rise in value based on quarterly returns and future revenue projections. Monies raised are then reinvested to grow the business, it is this cycle that in the past has created more consumers and increased buying power. At what point do you stop sacrificing one to improve the other?

For Gods sake, you never stop with this bull sh*t.

America is still littered with millions of people that got their crank caught in the door, and lost not only their butts in the stock market, but their homes and retirements etc etc.

And you stand here telling people they should invest their hard earned money in the freaking stock market? LOL!

As I've said before, I would rather juggle chain saws or go to Las Vegas, then hand over one dime to the stock market boys

You want to throw your money at the stock market? Have at it!
