Offshore outsourcing making a joke of Homeland def (Score 1)

Offshore outsourcing is making a joke of Homeland defense. Citicorp among others is transferring personal, business and government financial, medical and other information overseas where none of it is controlled by U.S. laws to protect your information. What happened to the Patient's Bill of Rights? There were over 9 million personal cases of identity theft last year alone. This is nothing more than a run around by corporations and insurance companies to grab data to discriminate against medical patients and other entities. We have been here before. Microsoft and Boeing receive tax subsidies of 50 billion for outsourcing so the EU raises export tariffs on small American businesses like jewelry, toys and others. We have known that these subsidies were illegal when lobbyist for these companies implemented them and our elected officials have turned a deaf ear for over 5 years that we have been pettioning for changes. The EU has been screaming for over two years since they were illegally implemented but the influence that companies like Microsoft and Boeing have so much power that legislators are scared to do anything other than what these powerful companies lobby them to do. This has cost us 50 billion of taxpayer's money when implemented and now another 50 billion in penalty tariffs on other American small and large businesses. But no penalty tariffs on either Microsoft or Boeing products? If added up we now have created a 100 billion in lost taxes (100 billion deficit in trade) do to the destructive actions of the powerful few. What is ironic about this is that the Chamber of Commerce has also lobbied in favor for these domestic economic destroying tactics. Once the small domestic American business members realize that the Chamber of Commerce is destroying their customer base domestically in their name you should see a revolt among their ranks. We also saw AARP do the same thing to it's members by lobbing for the Health Care plan that is more a subsidy and give away program to the pharmaceuticals and HMO's than a solution the American taxpayers. It does not take a genius to see through the facade of lies and greed of these Benedict Arnold companies. Example: Earthlink Inc an ISP has moved close to 4,000 jobs of a 6,000-employee company to India and other places. Have they reduced their monthly ISP charges of $ 21.95 of course not and it is the same for most offshore outsourcers. The benefits only create profit at the stockholder level at the expense of the American economy. These corporations just released that they will be creating new jobs but they will be in India and other places for cheap labor not here in the states. "Corporations have been enthroned. An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.
