    What will happen with the USA when it outsources everything?

    I may be stupid but...

    US citizens are the richest in the world - it's a fact, but they didn't become rich because they outsourced.

    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.

        other jobs will take the place of the ones that have been outsourced.. the world generally adapts to whatever we throw at it..

        here in western europe we have seen outsourcing to the eastern countries, but our economy is still growing.. we just have to be a bit creative and find new areas to work in..

        + the western world has the best educational system.. so almost all of the jobs that require more than basic knowledge will not be outsourced..

          What will happen with outsourcing is that

          1. New jobs will come along as the economy evolves

          2. New markets will be created by raising the standard of living in third world countries....creating a middle class there which does not now exist. And the US will find things to sell to them.

            I think it was bound to happen. People in India work dirt cheap, and are harder working.

            A lot of these IT jobs are becoming the white collar equivalent of picking tomatos. People need to get the right skills and stay in demand.

              This shall turn out to be a good argument thread.

              Outsourcing is not bad for the country, there I said it.
              Many also do not really look at the ecomonics of it all it seems. I do hope people do relize that foriegn companies do a hell of a lot of what I guess we could call insourcing to America. They wish to be closer to their primary consumers so they open up centers in the US.

              Cold hard fact is you can not stop outsourcing. Only thing a Government could do is impose tarrifs on imports and or subsidize bad companies who can not compete in todays world economy. Yes a tarrif may help joe sixpack keep his job, yet someone is going to pay for those tarrifs and it ussually is you and me or some other company.
              Also keep in mind countries believe in tit for tat. If we tarrif them, they will tarrif us and it just gets even more ugly.

                  You can not blame companies as you stated, profit is good.
                  Nor can you possibly blame the government. The government really has zero control over the economy even though they pretend they do.

                    My Dad was a salesman for IBM back in the mid 60's. I remember the big stink then was "OMG, computers are going to replace everyone and then no one will have jobs!!". Somehow, we have recovered from that. Same is true about outsourcing. The people who are successful now can be successful in anything.

                        I strongly disagree.

                        Education in the eastern European centres is on par with anywhere in the western world.
                        Same with India etc. Of course there are dumb people too, but there are dumb people everywhere.

                        They have PHD's selling stuff on a marketplace to get enough money for food not because they are stupid, but because there are no jobs. It's changing with the internet, and language barrier is not as big when you are typing on a computer screen.

                        Quality outsourcing prices will slowly rise as Internet becomes more accessible and domestic services will lower in price.. that's what will happen

                          As a whole, yes, but not necessarily on average.

                          Wealth in America is not equally distributed.

                          The top 10% own 70% of the wealth in America.

                            The government requires me to match Social Security contributions, the government requires me to contribute to Unemployment Pools, the government requires me to have all sorts of insurance, blah blah blah.

                                In that case you could blame politicians, special interests groups, lobbiest, and unions. They do put to many socialist programs into play that once someone has their hand in the free money cookie jar it will never ever be removed.

                                  Of corse it takes just a basic knowledge to invent something like that. How about buying a ticket in public transportation with a cellphone? How about free Wifi all over the cities? No?

                                    Just because the government allows it does not make it the government's fault when a CEO chooses to do it. It's just plain and simple greed.

                                    These companies make plenty of money to pay their employees and still bring in a hefty profit, especially with all their tax breaks and funneling of money.

                                    The US has an enormous number of unemployed, educated, skilled, hard working people. If you want to see just how many, post a highly skilled job offer and see just how many responses you get. It's actually overwhelming and quite sad to see.

                                    And btw...joe6pack makes no where near 10K a month

                                    All this outsourcing just can't be good, at least not for the majority of the people in the US

                                      And this is bad? Do not get into a wealth redistribution argument, as if everyone had a $1mil - $1mil wouldn't be worth anything.

                                        That's an infrastructure issue. The US will have stuff like that some day, problem is we're so damn big and have so many people it's hard to get things like that going when the money should be spent on more important things than city based Wifi.

                                          Yes there are many socialist programs in place.
                                          We all know that social security is just a ponzi scheme.
                                          Medicare is as worthless as my used toliet paper.
                                          Subsidies are just another form of welfare we all pay.
                                          So on and so on.

                                          Yet it still can work with outsourcing and without. We have had those programs long before outsourcing started and we have those programs in place for all the companies that insource into the US.

                                          What American companies need to grasp or more so Americans in general is a different management strategy.

                                                Wealth in America is not equally distributed.

                                                The top 10% own 70% of the wealth in America.

                                                  The definition of educated, skilled, and hard working people has really changed over the years.

                                                  I don't know many people that fit that description. The ones who do, own companies or have good jobs.

                                                    Flawed logic. We as consumers want better products at cheaper prices. Business's have two things to do, 1. is make as much profit as possible and 2. satisfy consumers needs, wants, and desires.

                                                    Innovate, adapt, change, or die. It is just how the world works.

                                                        These companies make plenty of money to pay their employees and still bring in a hefty profit, especially with all their tax breaks and funneling of money.

                                                        Okay, so the new rule is, "You make a shit load of money, you should be giving it away". This mindset never ceases to amaze me, and is the mindset of the poor worldwide.

                                                        It is this mindset that keeps people from truly attaining anything above a meager existence.

                                                        Lastly, I love your blanket statement of "Tax Breaks and Funneling of Money". Do you have any examples of this or are you spouting the same bullshit I hear everyday from the far Left? And just how much taxes should someone be paying, in your world view? 10%? 20%? 50%? Or how about giving it all away.... They make so much why not just give it to every freeloading douche bag on the planet.

                                                              It is this mindset that keeps people from truly attaining anything above a meager existence.

                                                              Lastly, I love your blanket statement of "Tax Breaks and Funneling of Money". Do you have any examples of this or are you spouting the same bullshit I hear everyday from the far Left? And just how much taxes should someone be paying, in your world view? 10%? 20%? 50%? Or how about giving it all away.... They make so much why not just give it to every freeloading douche bag on the planet.

                                                              I think the idea is "if you live better than me you should be giving more of your money away!"

                                                              Haha.

                                                                            Never said you should give it away. Big corporations tend to forget that it's the people that work for them can make or break them. For example, you own a company that offers consumers personal support...you want your consumer to hang up the phone happy or pissed off? I know I've been pissed off enough with a company to never use their product or service again.


                                                                            Lastly, I love your blanket statement of "Tax Breaks and Funneling of Money". Do you have any examples of this or are you spouting the same bullshit I hear everyday from the far Left?
                                                                            Yeah, sure, I have hard proof...coz all companies post that information publicly All I can say is I've seen it first hand, you can take it or leave it.

                                                                            And just how much taxes should someone be paying, in your world view? 10%? 20%? 50%? Or how about giving it all away.... They make so much why not just give it to every freeloading douche bag on the planet.
                                                                            If you outsource all the jobs, there'll be no one left to pay taxes...so guess this would be a moot point in your world view.

Big corporations tend to forget that it's the people that work for them can make or break them. For example, you own a company that offers consumers personal support...you want your consumer to hang up the phone happy or pissed off? I know I've been pissed off enough with a company to never use their product or service again.

                                                                              The employees should remember if it wasn't for the big bad corporation they would be sucking dick on the street corner. It should be a give and take relationship. Unfortunately, the employees eventually think that they started the company and it is now their right to get all of the profits, but shoulder no burden. This is what happened with most of the labor unions. Labor Unions are a huge factor in blue collar jobs LEAVING the USA. Why should a line worker at GM get paid $25 to start?

                                                                              Hard Proof - I am not seeing any examples. Show me where US corporations are dodging taxes, and at the same time outsourcing jobs overseas, which you see as a bad thing.

                                                                              Taxes - You did not answer the question. What do you think is a fair amount of tax on profit? What should be done with this tax? Do you favor no taxes if the big bad companies just gave 50% of the profit in a hand out to the employees?

                                                                              In closing, valuable employess will always be compensated. I have seen it my whole life. Employees that are commodities and can be replaced by Xing Huk in Cambodia will always be disregarded. This is life, and the person allowing themselves to stay in the situation of being someone else's tool needs to reevaluate what they are doing wrong.

                                                                              This whole discussion is a classic Marxist discussion.
