In this thread, a small troop of faceless, anonymous DUmpmonkeys takes up the tired DUmp whine about all the good jobs going to Indonesians and Guatemalans. If someone would pay DUmmies $30 an hour to sew baseballs or assemble Barbie dolls, there would never be a recession! But these multinationals are greedy, and their accomplices, the American public, don't want to pay $20 for a pair of jockey shorts:

Am I wrong to think and feel that it is un American
when American companies do not bring back jobs, that they have sent to other countries, when our economy is so bad and so many people are unemployed? If every company would bring back enough of these jobs to put Americans back to work, they would still profit by putting more money into the pockets of Americans, who would then buy the products made.
Is what I think of as "common sense" too simple minded? How greedy do these companies have to be to justify watching their own country falter because of that greed? Has greed become more valuable than love of country?

It's clearly un-American that these greedy companies don't look at unemployed Americans, and decide to commit financial suicide. Democrats specialize in performing unskilled manual labor under union rules, with union wage rates and union benefits. So patriotic companies should hire democrats and pay them top dollar, until the money runs out.
DUmmy HopeHoops is as stupid as the OP:

1. No, you are not wrong. And yes, greed has overtaken love of country.
This DUmmy thinks that people in small business don't put their money where they'll get the best return:

3. Raw, unfettered capitalism follows the money, do to speak. They will sell their mother if it meant a good return on the investment. This is why we need governmental regulation on businesses (I'm speaking mostly of corporate multi-nationals, not the small business community) to make sure they are doing the right thing. They won't do the right thing willingly. So no, you are not wrong to feel that way!
People in small business would rather hire DUmmies than make more money.
DUmmy prairierose has finally deciphered the trick WalMart has been playing on all of us. If this gets out, all hell will break loose:

5. and that is why we should support the local small businesses and avoid supporting the huge transnationals that are only after our money and care nothing for us or this country that gave them the ability to make the billions they do.
Yes, we need to work on regulating business again and we need to elect congresscritters who are not bought and paid for by the time they are elected. But every single day, you can choose to shop at the small mom & pop hardware store, or grocery store, or the local farmer's market or other type of store instead of a big box store that only sells stuff made in china, viet nam, or....
Shopping is a political act even when you are too ignorant to understand that spending your money at chinamart undermines your own job. BTW, that always low prices thing is bs. If you know prices in your area, you will see that only certain products, especially the loss leaders are cheaper but much of your everyday purchases are the same price or higher as every other store in the area. That is the way it is here and I'm sure that it is the same where ever you are.
And on top of WalMart tricking us with those low prices, I was also unaware that those mom & pop stores aren't after my money! The DUmp is a great place for eDUcation! One thing I still don't understand, though. If the mom & pop store isn't after my money, why do they always want more of it than WalMart, for the same item?? I hope one of the DUmmies will clear that up for me.
DUmmy noob Naturalistnumbers wants in on this debate, and adds a valuable point:

6. Well stated but there is more to this painting. Not only do they need to bring back the jobs, they also need to pay higher wages. Example: Company pays workers and makes a product that is out of their fiscal range to buy the very product they are producing. With the outsourcing and low wages they have completely destroyed the American way of life. With some research you can see that this is fact.
Good point, DUmmy Natualistnumbers! Every production worker should be paid enough money to buy whatever he is helping to produce - Corvettes, yachts, mansions, diamond necklaces, swimming pools, everything. And if they can't make the payments, the bank should just eat the loan. Someone needs to check out how it works with that profit thingy, though.

8. I read somewhere recently that in the wake of IRS scrutiny of offshore accounts, wealthy people are giving up their american citizenship rather than do the right thing.
So now we know what happened with Dummy TwixVoy! He stashed all that Target dough in a Swiss account!

I'd like to have a business buying DUmmies for what they are worth and selling them for what they THINK they are worth.
But alas it would fail because there ain't no market for DUmmies, nobody wants them.

Did anyone see the story I linked in the Economics forum about offering tax cuts to FOREIGN companies??

Either their drug addicted high school drop outs and not qualified or their 40 years old with several advanced degrees and still in school, which makes them over qualified. At any rate, they'll demand a pay rate three times what the position merits.

Its funny they expect corporations to not make a penny off of their business yet they expect a profit off their labor (pay checks). DUmmies are so stupid that they believe CEOs take the profits and hide them under their beds or something. When in reality if a business is making a profit more than likely the profit will be used to expand which brings more jobs.
The sad part is Obama himself said now is not the time for profits. How the hell does he expect new jobs to crop up then?

Which should take about a month under that business model.

The DUmmies clearly need to stick to topics that they have knowledge of....bongs, pot, cheetos, being unemployed and/or homeless, etc. Leave the economics and business talk to those qualified.

FYI DUchebags, regulations in Kalifornia add 40% to the cost of manufacturing. Can't have business if the government does not want business and kalifonia does not want any business. heussein thinks the same way.

but I thought we weren't supposed to love our country.
Why do the duer's hate the Chinese, Indians, Guatemalans, etc. ?
Aren't those folks entitled to jobs?
Shouldn't we be happy that our Corporations are reaching out to the poorer nations and offering the people there the opportunity to better themselves?
Shouldn't corporations be forced to find the poorest of the poor and give them the jobs first, to try to even things out?
Why do they hate the poor of the world?
:-)

terry, I'd high 5 ya if we still could.
That was pretty funny with Naturalistnumbers. I thought the same thing, Gobucks. I thought, "even aircraft carriers?" I tell you, the DUmp economic threads are comedy gold...or they would be if the DUmmy in chief and both houses of DUmmies weren't in control.

How many of those Chinese "workers" would starve without our 60 cents an hour?

I would like to see how DUmmy economists can work a system where all goods are at a super low price but those working to produce them get paid 100,000.00/year.

My mother is 78 years old, not much of a market for her....
Besides, if I did sell her, then I'd have to hire someone to clean up after hours. Someone I'd actually have to PAY to do what Mom does for free. She's worth more to me as a janitor than a commodity....

Which the DUmb****s are neither of.

What makes it even funnier is that they don't realize how much even the corner pot dealer or local "cannibis club" is making in profit off their addicted asses.
