No insinuations re: your citizenship status, you just seemed to be unusually clueless about the admittedly inequitable system of taxation in the US. Rarely do you hear Americans wondering about why there are these state-to-state inequities (complaining, yes, wondering, no).

"Opinions" re: offshoring are immaterial. Hundreds of companies do it. That doesn't make it an acceptable practice. I read today that the GWB campaign is SELLING Bush/Cheney paraphernalia that was made in Burma, a country sanctioned by Bush himself for having such inhumane working conditions. Bush's new "manufacturing czar" is himself a proponent of offshoring, having fired 80 US workers and opened his own factory in CHINA, employing 185.

Hypocrisy is ALIVE AND WELL in the USA.

What IS material is their collective negative-effect on workers in the US. We shall see just how significant that turns out to be in November. It's a big political issue for a good reason. There are lots of people who have a negative "opinion" of offshoring. I'm sure a lot of them work in the bellies of the beasts.

BTW: it isn't the fault of foreign WORKERS that offshoring is hurting US workers. It's the fault of US Capitalism that is hurting US workers AND exploiting foreign labor at the same time.
