So, what happens when:

a) Joe Sixpack works as a car-parts manifacturer. He gets $10k per month sallary. He buys TVs, DVDs, Cars, Pays taxes etc.

b) 100 x Joe Sixpacks = good consumers

c) You outsource 100 joe sixpacks to China, and you give 100 chinese $100 a month.

d) you get RICH corporate CEO, rich corporation, but you leave 100 Joe Sixpacks out of job

e) The company now has parts to sell, but there aren't any Joe Sixpacks to buy those parts.

What will happen if tons of the work gets "outsourced" and many people loose their jobs, who'll make the US economy grow? If the outsourcing trend continues there will be tons of rich companies with poor population.

???

Explain this to me..
Your entire comments drip of class warfare, but your point you made in part a) is key. Joe Six Pack making $10K a month. Joe Six Pack can be replaced by Xing making $300 a month. As big bad rich CEO I am going to choose Xing.

Blame the government for outsourcing, not the big bad companies.

The outrageous costs of maintaining employees is reason #1 for outsourcing.
