Yeah. How come?
To amuse you:

"How come when corporate execs are confronted with paying a fair wage they immediately look overseas for another country to exploit, but when the American consumer does the very same thing to purchase prescriptions from Canadian drugstores, these very same 'free-market' advocates scream bloody murder?" - Gary Tsuchiyama

(The souce of the quote is from Bob Evans, InformationWeek.com, column title: “Diverse Views On Outsourcing”, 02 Feb 2004)

1. In all fariness
The pharma companies pay very good wages. It's the manufacturers who do the majority of the outsourcing. That said, they are full of crap in their reasons for not wanting to let Americans purchase drugs from Canada.

2. Great Question!
This is the type of inconsistencies that our "free" press should talking about. Imagine the reactions of the sheeple if they were presented with such info.

Forget Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, etc. I do not want to hear another word about any of them on any so-called "news" show.

3. Just think how much money we could save for the
stockholders if we outsourced the CEO's job to India. That could save at least several hundred real workers jobs.
