If you think Illegals and Foreigners coming here taking AMERICAN CITIZENS jobs or companies sending our jobs offshore is a good thing,then I think you are as big a traitor as the politicians that continue to allow it to happen.In Revolutionary times they would take these traitors out and hang them.
Win or Lose I've committed myself to fight this anyway I can,if it inconviences me some,big deal. Like I said it may not get anywhere,but if I can hurt these companies wallets,then you can bet things will change.

By the way,it's not the cost of labor that drives the prices up as much as Corporate Greed,you can bet they have a profit way over a normal percentage whether it's made by American Labor or Chinese Sweat Shop Labor.
You know, in some of those countries where jobs are going, those people are living in extreme poverty and are literally dying for those jobs.

In the meantime, America has gotten fat, happy and inefficient and we're fortunate to have a government that takes care of us to some degree when we're unemployed.

In other words, I don't really see this as a black and white issue. In some cases, those people need those jobs a lot worse than the people in America do.

When I was young, my Dad's company closed a plant in Minnesota and opened one in Kentucky. Is that really much different from outsourcing to another county? Should the people of Minnesota have boycotted their products? And why did they outsource to KY? I think a lot of it had to do with finding people willing to do the same job for less and probably something to do with taxes being lower. Therefore, if we want to retain jobs, we need to be competitive, not just boycott things.

(And I know I'll get blasted, but I'm trying to play devil's advocate here and point out that there are other sides to the issue. I'm not in favor of outsourcing jobs.)
