Outsourcing problem... - Page 4

While I like W in general, I have made no secret of my differences with his economic polic(ies) or lack thereof.

Kerry has taken a stand against companies that outsource American jobs overseas. Bush apparently is using free trade rhetoric to justify rewarding his wealthy corporate buddies with "all-you-can-eat" outsourcing.

In addition, he has cheerfully accepted close to half a million campaign dollars from a number of companies on Lou Dobbs list of the 25 most eggregious outsourcers not to mention that he owns or shares in minority stakes valued at close to $9,000,000 in companies identified as big outsourcers. Lastly and perhaps most insulting is the majority stake in a manufacturing company (not oil related) that has over three quarters of its 75 factories on foreign soil.

I'm not a big Kerry fan but at least he is taking a hard line stand on the issue.
