i am not going to address everything since you admittedly do not know what you are talking about.

i just want to point out that "outsourcing" has almost no affect on the GDP and economic growth. maybe you should take a cursory look at all the business sectors and what their contribution is to the economy before you try to argue against something you don't understand and argue against economics which you don't understand.

It is all nothing new. Your Nikes are made in China, your Levis are made in Taiwan, your keyboard was made in the Philippines etc. Almost everything you own was made outside the US. Now you are struggling to make an argument that it matters who offers customer support or who writes your code. It doesn't.

It is a behavior that is vital to economic growth and its been going on long before you were born and will continue long after.

Your arguments are more communist in nature and ignore the fact that "those fat cats" who make money are also the ones creating jobs and investing in the economy.

The harder you try to intervene in a free market and "make things fair" for everyone... the more you will fuck it up.
