IMO....the small businesses need the help. Big Business is for the money and can outsource. Small businesses can offer job for this country and they are the backbone of america...i agree


not necessarily. Outsourcing is a weighing of gain vs cost. Much outsourcing is a job that requires remedial skills at best - mostly those that require very little training to keep costs low. Anything that involves manufactured goods requires a large initial investment and the future investment in shipping those goods to market. It's not always a viable option if those costs exceed the extra costs incurred at home. A good businessowner will choose the more efficient and cost-effective option.

why?

our cost of living has priced us out of a competetive market. we want too much

in India 25% of the population is under 30 AND has an advanced degree. 25% of 1 Billion is 250,000,000 people. That is equal to the population of the entire United States. And they are ambitious and innovative and ready to compete for jobs and money

and we are spoiled fat and lazy and whining cause they are beating us in the open market

the point is that with our standard of living (mostly based on borrowing) we have priced ourselves out of the market

as long as we expect so much for our skills and work, the Indians and the Chinese will be beating us

If you pay $600 in rent and $400 in childcare and $250 in utilities and 200 on groceries...Would you work for less money than you need to survive..Again wonder why people are on welfare!!

If it costs you say $1000 a month for just the necessities to survive would you work for $800 a month???? Welfare dosnt seen to bad then!!!! Again I dont condone having a welfare state but why cant people seem to get off of it! PLZ dont say education because there are many with a degree who cant find a job making a livable wage..

I'm not saying it's right or wrong or good or bad. It's just the way it is.

that's why there is a niche for illegal immigrant labor in America. They can work for about a quarter of what Americans can for the same job
