We can bitch and whine all we want but its ultimately up to the owner (s) of the company. BTW I dont agree with it just throwin that out there for arguments sake.

The problem is, moving jobs to different countries only has short term benefits. You get a bigger fruit this harvest, but you poison the soil. Economy is the "flow" of money and it runs full circle. It will eventually hurt the company as it's local customer base it whittled by lower wages. The lowert wages coming from competing with those foreign work markets. Then again, short term profits seem to be the way corporate america likes it these days.
