Ok, let's say you're CRad Computer Company Inc. You sell 85% of your products to US citizens. They keep you in business. You advertise being an "American Company" products are "Manufactured in the USA", but you buy Indonesian micro chips and now you want to put your Customer Service Center in Bangladesh. Why? To help the poor starving people of Bangladesh? NO! Because Bangladesh has no minimum wage, your local manager there can hire for 1/100th what it would cost in the US. Who suffers?

The other thing is I think our stupid tax laws have driven companies off shore. If we're driving them away, we need to change something. What happened in California is to me a microcosm of what will happen in the US if we keep going down this road.

Any company that puts it business in a foreign country that does not have minimal labor restrictions should be fined out the ying yang. They are truly exploiting the worker class for pure profit.

OMG! I'm a communist!

RL, what's up with quoting me? You make me sound horrible. Why didn't you include the part about the right to not be abused, etc.?
