Funny how people who don't need a job to survive want to send jobs
out of the country. Most of the people who feel it's good for the economy don't really have a job or they don't really need a job to survive; they live off their stock dividends and inherited wealth. Exporting jobs is good for the stock market and coporate bottom line which means profits go up and so do stock values. These people don't even remotely know what it's like to earn (work for) a pay check that barely meets your living expenses. And the really sad part about it is that the Repugs even try to make you believe that lots of Americans own stocks. Lots of Americans do own stock but the people who own the controlling interests and most of the stock in America are corporations (owned by foreigners) and wealthy individuals who are also foreigners or who hold dual citizenship. Americans own stock through their benefits programs that are invested in the stock markets but guess who doesn't get to collect value when these stocks fail? Just think ENRON.
