If I as an individual buy or import any foreign good then how am I not just like any group or company that hires individuals to work for or provide services in a foreign country. I don't have the right to buy goods made outside this country. I don't have the right to resell them. There is a Global Economy and America and Americans are competing in this Global Economy. Telecommuting makes possible business models that were not formerly competitive. One can whine about it or figure out how to make it make money for you. And stupid or ignorant people will lose out for not having thought about it. That is progress. It's stupid to rail against progress. And always more will be hurt than helped by trying to prevent economic progress.
