| Today the world is finally going to realize that the global market is in the hands of a dystopian oligarchist police state in Asia. |

so unimportant to me that I consider it a non-issue that's what labor unions get for all of their ridiculous demands
cutting the low end jobs that don't require much skill and saving corporations' money sounds like a great idea to me |

cutting low income jobs out of America = poorer people at home, higher unemployment and a bigger difference between the bottom 99% and 1% because when you ship lower jobs that a corporation can pay someone here for 7.25 an hour to a place where they can pay them much less, they get richer and the people who were already poor and vulnerable become more poor and vulnerable. They have less chance to get a job they meet the requirements for and become poorer.
why is that a good thing to you?? screwing over people who live in your country so a big business becomes even richer?? you'll exploit the people in your country and the country the jobs are being sent to because they can pay them dirt wages and employ them in unsafe conditions
the best interest of the corporation is not the best interest of the people

This is the kind of stuff that happens when you use the "best interests of the corporation" card to outsource jobs to other countries for labor that is either borderline or outright slavery:

| Why is it that Americans get wet over capitalism and the competition aspect of it, and even go as far as to try to make the world a capitalistic society, and then get angry when the rest of the world is now directly in competition with Americans for jobs. Bit hypocritical. |

| If you don't want your job to be taken, either A. Be really good at it or B. Be irreplaceable. It's competition. America is competition. If you suck at your job and a company fires you for someone to do the same quality of work for three times less the price, how is that the company's fault? |

Not only does this have absolutely nothing to do with outsourcing, but you're also absolutely wrong if you're trying to relate this to outsourcing.
If you made an effort to compare products made in different places, you'd notice that products made in the USA are much, much higher quality than the products made from the outsourcing of jobs to China and India. |
