I agree with much of what you said -- we are not only shipping jobs oversees, we are giving huge tax breaks to those who do, even if you don't realize it.

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but remember that video of Gov Romney giving that speech to 50,000 per plate fund raiser? He spoke of a factory he bought for Bain Capital in China. This was not some bad reporter trying to make it look bad, he was describing the factory himself. It was a live in factory -almost all young women he said, they LIVED in the factory. They had guard towers -- remember he said this! They had 12 girls to a tiny room, one bathroom per floor, and they were paid a "pittance". Keep in mind now, this is what HE said of the factory he was buying! The news talked a lot about the 47%, but he was basically right about that, in a way.

The news didn't even mention his comments about the factory he bought -- how much did he make? Did he pay taxes on that? Did he know the names of any girls that worked in that factory? Did he shut down one of his factories here to give more work to his huge live in factories there?

I think those were legit questions for a guy who was going to transform the economy.

Andi more -- given the overpopulation in much of the 3rd world -- why can't we have import laws that prevent these jobs going overseas? I know it's not a simple thing, I know it's more complicated. But I'd like to see living wages and benefits for everyone who works hard and obeys the rules. And if people want to get rich buying factories with guards and barb wire where the workers live, and get paid a "pittance" according to the guy that owns the factory, fine.

Just get it out in the open is all Om saying

Do you believe in capitalism?
