Many companies have received help from our government. These companies are receiving our tax money to stay in business. Many of these companies are banks and their failure is not an option. My question is why do these companies continue to outsource jobs to India. Shouldn't these companies be obligated to hire people in the United States. I refuse to listen to one more agrument that U.S. workers are too expensive. It's the CEO and executives that are too expensive. Maybe, they should be outsourced.
We need jobs in America. We need good paying jobs. The stimulus package is great for construction workers, but what about people with college degrees and training in computers, accounting, customer service and finance, how will we generate these jobs.
The stimulus package spends almost another 1 trillion of our tax money to generate 3 million jobs in years to come. At the same time, we have lost 3 million jobs and we will continue to lose at least that amount in the months to come. Instead of spending 1 trillion dollars, why not require all American companies that took TARP money to hire American workers. If these companies do not abide by this rule, they can give back the TARP. Maybe countries like India or Singapore should help these companies with TARP money.
As a taxpayer, I would pay double to hire a worker in the U.S. than in India. When we employ a U.S. worker, that worker buys goods in the U.S., he buys a home in the U.S., he pays federal, state, local and social security taxes. A U.S. worker may seem expensive, but he has many partners; one of biggest partners is the Federal government.
The saddest thing about outsourcing is that no one is willing to talk about it. I find it disturbing that as I write this email, there are U.S. workers training their Indian counterparts to fill the position that they hold. What's worse is that this is taking place in companies that received help from our government. Our government helps these companies, but these companies shun U.S. workers. This is sad; really sad and nobody cares. Many people feel that their jobs can't be outsourced and this may be true. You can't outsource an electrician, but if a U.S. worker is not occupying office space in the U.S., do we need an electrician to provide a working environment for the worker. I guess the electrician, construction and plumber jobs in essence have also been outsourced.
P.S. This should be front page news. It is an outrage. I'm sure people will feel the same once they find out what is really going on with their tax money.
