I for one am looking forward to the day we can outsource bean-counters and CEO's to India and China. After all, China graduates 40 million people every year, some of them should be able to supplant Fiorina and her ilk

Did you do well in the market this year?

If so, then maybe you can afford to make a donation to Free Republic!

"There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," said Carly Fiorina, chairman of Palo Alto information technology giant Hewlett Packard.


HP has no God-given right to my business either.

Patriotism has died , American companies are killing themselves like this. When enough American jobs are lost who do these pricks think are going to buy their crap.

[oceanview]

Lou Dobbs will have something to say about this.

The corporate elites themselves are immune from this, free to wreck companies (Fiorina helped wreck Lucent) and take millions for themselves while at the same time sending jobs offshore.

The lies that they are both telling here are maddening. They should just tell the truth, there are plenty of smart people in the US to fill these jobs, but HP and Intel don't want to pay them $75K a year to do it. That's what its all about, they claim Americans are dumb and uneducated, but the only reason they are in love with the Indians and Chinese is because they work cheap.

[Age of Reason]

(scrathing head) Do we really need to do business with the rest of the world?

I think we have almost all the resources we need right here at home.

I say only American companies and American citizens should be allowed to own American companies and American property.

And I say stop immigration, or we wil certainly not have enough resources, which will force us to trade with the reset of the world.

Problems solved (except for the pigs, who are willing to do anything just to make more money by selling their products overseas).

Self-reliance should be America's economy!

There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore

Except for overpaid CEOs, government bureaucrats, socialist politicians and trial lawyers...

>"There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," said Carly Fiorina, chairman of Palo Alto information technology giant Hewlett Packard.

Bastid. That's one reason why I went white box on my last computer and had a local geek shop build it.

[Capt. Jake]

I thought Republicans were supposed to support free markets? And not just for goods, but also for labor.

But all I see on the board lately is that we don't want immigrants coming here to perform jobs that others won't. And we don't want companies outsourcing jobs to those who will perform the quality work for lower wages.

I reject the idea that protectionism equals patriotism.

>"There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," said Carly Fiorina, chairman of Palo Alto information technology giant Hewlett Packard.

Hey Carly, no so called "American" coproration has a God given right to my business. I'm now starting to think about who I do business with and I support companies which support the places from which they earn their income.

the farm subsidies are used by the mega-farms of 2-10,000 acres and the international agribusiness corps to run the family farms out of business.

the mega-farms and agribusinesses use illegals and demand lower health standards in the meat and milk industries.

the long term goal of the international agribusinesses is to "harmonize" world agriculture.

translated, we be all working on the global democrat plantation.

Fiorina warned against the growing protectionist backlash, saying the only alternative to losing jobs overseas was to make a national decision to stay ahead of foreign competitors by improving grade-school education, doubling federal spending on basic research and forming a national broadband policy, as Japan and Korea have done.

Well... then lets do it. The alternative is a weakened America.

Neither Craig Barret or Carly would be employed if they applied to there prospective companies today.

Craig is starting to feel the pressure here at Intel and is starting to moderate some of his internal comments.

Carly is exactly what all the engineers said years ago, an overpriced sales person with delusions of godhood.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Carly has one hell of a nerve. That's ok, Carly. Americans are getting angrier by the hour about our right to seek employment in our own country. Employment that will house and feed us decently. Feel the backlash.

Alot of these America businesses were created by them dang Chinese and people from India. It is estimated that almost one quarter of Silicon valley firms were established by people born in a foreign land.

Ten high-tech firms founded by foreigners (Intel, Sun Microsystems, Computer Associates, Solectron Lam Research, LSI Logic, AST Computer, Wang Laboratories, Amtel, Gupta Technologies, and Cypress Semiconductor) generated over $32 billion in revenues in 2002.

So, when these businesses use labor from China and India which is their country of birth, you complain (just joking guys)? I am just throwing this info out, but I bet you didn't know that 25% of the high tech firms in Silicon Valley were created by immigrants.

[Glenn]

Carly has all the money she could ever spend. I'm just trying to make a living at my chosen profession in this dog-eat-dog world.

[HamiltonJay]

FLORINA is telling americans what's good for them? THe fact this incompetent wench still has a job shows just how incopentent HP is!

I'll take anything this lady tells me about economics with the same grain of salt I use when Michael Moore opens his flap.

[Jim Cane]

"There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore,"

Fine.

Then there is no offshore company that has a God-given right to American military protection from piracy, terrorism, kidnappings, or nationalization, anymore.

Goose, meet Gander.
