You must also know that if Kerry gets into the White House, he will make things much worse! Same thing with illegal immigration, and government spending, two issues that I feel much stronger about than outsourcing. Capitalism has its faults, but socialism is always a failure. That's why I'm volunteering and voting for Bush.
Outsourcing happens for two three reasons.
#1 Unions here make employing here hell.
#2 To avoid taxes.
#3 Labor is near slave wages in other countries, so America can't compete with that.
You can't threaten or tax companies here over the issue for outsourcing because they will just leave the country for good then.
I went to the mat locally and got Bush Votes to get him elected. Defending him in this town has become near impossible. Nobody much likes Kerry; but, they're blaming Bush squarely for outsourcing. You have to understand this at the basic level. Abortion might affect someone else as far as the average joe is concerned; but, if he lost his job and the president's policy can be blamed.. There are people in this town still badmouthing Reagan because they lost their job on his watch. It's why I quote Hoffa. '..a slight percieved and that guy will hate you the rest of his life.' And their aint a slight more personal from a politician than losing your livlihood because of politics. Not in everyday terms.
The democrats know this which is why for 20 years, Carter didn't make appearances at conventions. They at least got the brains and common sense to understand people. That's how they manage to manipulate them so often and so well. You don't hand extremely good liars an issue they don't have to lie about. They'll destroy you with it.
