I've read that. Doesn't change my mind. Heinz (as many companies have) has benefited from cheap labor in 3rd world countries. The point being - how much of her 500 mil could be as a result of cheap labor and is it disingenuous of both she and Kerry to criticize now that they have theirs? It's an issue I have with the Hollywood types as well. People always seem to grow this halo AFTER they get theirs.

I say that not because I don't support the idea of keeping jobs here but rather because the rhetoric always seems to come AFTER people have become the beneficiary of similar practices. One would believe that outsourcing is something new since Bush took office when in fact we've been shipping our industrial base to other countries for 20+ years now. I've owned Dell computers since well before Bush was in office and I've ALWAYS gotten the Bombay buffoon when I call.
