AC, So you advocate protectionism? Maybe you want foreign countries to boycott our goods & services, or maybe not even buy them at all because our price structure is not competitive. Or would it make you happier if the prices we all pay here for misc. goods & services go higher. The point is, if the U.S. expects to compete in the global marketplace then we have to remain flexible.

Have you ever heard of purchase price parity? Believe me, they are not earning slave wages. Go to this post and click on the link. Does Wipro look like such a bad place to work? Competitive salaries, benefits, stock options and even some perks not available in the US. Message 19845512 TC
