For US firms to effectively compete in a global marketplace, outsourcing is a fact of life. Whether Americans like it or not, we are competing with the rest of the world. American business must do everything necessary yo increase efficiency, reduce cost, and stay competitive.
Americans have greater opportunity to be at the top of the global economy than anybody else. We are the managers and foremen, not to mention the shareholders.
She should invest her money in her company and reap the benefits of their greater competitiveness.
and they should be rewarded as such with a tax cut to ensure their future competitiveness. Firms that hire Americans are stupid, and shoudn’t be rewarded for being so. Why throw good money at bad ?
At least until her better trained VN co-worker gets her job. Then she should get a new job. In fact, she should move to Viet Nam.
That’s why we fought in Vietnam, so that one day its peasants could take our jobs. Win-win!
But like El Rushbo says, “there the way it ought to be, and there’s the way it is.”
I, for one, believe America can compete.
should they invest? Office workers aren’t paid executive salaries.
She should invest in a Y-chromosome, not in the business, if she wants to get paid more. Problem solved. Now let’s get back to cutting taxes and outsourcing. USA! USA!
This “competitive” firm you’re talking about is using OUR TAX DOLLARS to subsidize their outsourcing of jobs to Vietnam.
THAT’S what she was complaining about.
Sheesh, the idiocy and hypocrisy among Republicans nowadays when it comes to taxes and tax breaks is enough to make you sick.
If I were siting there listening to that smug little shit explain to me why I needed to work harder while I watched my company outsource me and then listen to him counter that maybe I should find another job, I might have shown him some real populism. I would’ve been tempted to punch Gardner in the face.
The GOP won’t be satisfied until they turn this country in to China: a few rich people, masses of poor working in unsafe conditions for no money and living in a destroyed environment.
And you can throw in suppressing civil liberties for good measure.
Stick it to the MAN!
You’ll get one or the other, and that’s if we’re in a good mood and can figure out how to do the first one.
on how to focus a laser.
He could’ve asked her to consider that maybe her job sucks because she sucks as a human being.
The height of hyprocrisy for Republicans like Gardner and ArapaGOP to belittle this lady about to lose her job to a Vietnam call center as engaging in “populist dreck” – while the Republicans siphon off our tax dollars and throw them at corporations outsourcing our jobs to Vietnam.
Gardner sounded like a little piece of uncaring crap, and so did his “populist dreck” defender. Shame on them both.
I just think she should adopt a more constructive attitude about her situation. That’s the advice Rep. Gardner gave her as well.
If you are not making the money a Republican thinks you should be, or you are unemployed that is your own fault. Don’t go crying on a Republican for help. You screwed up, you are a loser. Tough it out. (and by the way be sure to tip the Republican well for not peeing on you)
