I have a personal concern for US workers, I have a general humanitarian concern for offshore workers. The two issues are related- because companies that don't want to abide by environmental regulations, that don't want to provide safe working conditions, that don't want to pay a living US wage- go elsewhere. They not only take jobs from the US that our uneducated citizens could have, they go and poison other countries environments, they go and exploit labor in other countries, they do whatever they can to maximize profits- morality has nothing to do with it.

I don't find child labor moral. I don't find the appalling safety conditions moral. I don't find the environmental devastation of the third world moral. Actually, I find very little morality in what most humans do. I am not entirely satisfied with my own- and I hole myself to a pretty strict standard. I am sure I would not be satisfied with the morality of most businesses.
