I think you guys are missing the point here. Lot' s of corporations may be greedy but the real issue here is the trade imbalance the powers at be allow to continue. As long as our beloved government allows countries like China to send in billions more dollars worth of merchandise than we export the problem will never end. If that makes me an isolationist, then so be it. I am not defending the corporations who move operations overseas, but you know what? They are just playing by the rules. There is no way we as Americans can compete with cheap labor overseas as long as we allow the current trade imbalance to exist. This also has nothing to do with which country has harder workers. That' s a bogus argument. In many sweatshops overseas the company will just get rid of you if there is even a hint that you may not be carrying your weight, and replace you with another clone making 2 bucks a day who is probably already standing outside waiting for his " big" chance. Conditions are so bad in many countries people will do anything for next to nothing just so they can feed their families, or try to. As far as boycotts...Sorry on that one too guys. They just don' t work period. Yeah, we can all give it a try but they end up failing for many reasons, chief among them that most people really don' t care and won' t support one. Even if we here on the BBS band together to make an impact our numbers are so small it ends up being insignificant. The other problem with boycotts...Just try going with the " I only buy American routine" and see where you are. You won' t be watching TV, or driving a car (even our beloved " American" cars have foreign made components in them), or listening to CD' s, or you name it. We are losing more and more manufacturing jobs in this country and there is no end in sight until the playing field is leveled out and we are not taking in billions more in goods than we ship out.
