and if you try to legislate against it, you'll just cost more jobs of the management and finance types who work at the corporate HQ here in the US, or they'll just move those jobs as well, and foreign companies that do hire over here will stop, so there really is nothing you can do

So, how can you say YOUR, anything? You are just an EMPLOYEE. Your EMPLOYER doesn't have to be loyal to you; your EMPLOYER has to be loyal to his/her BUSINESS because, if they don't, they also will be UNemployed.
Originally posted by nuttin4UNow, let's say you have a business...and Joe Schmoe wants $5 an hour, for his services, but Jack Wong will take $4 dollars for his services, who are you going to hire? Well, that's what has happened in America. Joe Schmoe is too EXPENSIVE to keep, when Jack Wong will do it for less the price. That's called SMART BUSINESS. It's "nothing personal", it's just BUSINESS.
