So Bill Clinton's North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and China didn't have anything to do with this? That's when all this outsourcing started...

Huh?

This poll makes no sense.

Bush is an oil man. I could think of lot's of names to call him but a commie isn't one.

I had to vote no. He's too stupid to be a communist, as he was too stupid to be a capitalist. A small group of wealthy industrialists shipped away our jobs (2008 saw more job losses than any year since 1945, when WWII ended) and made obscene profits under his reign, along with many defense contractors, the other 98% of Americans?

Not so much.

A conservative doesn't view the same situation as you. Could it be that taxes on corporations have forced corporations to seek cheaper labour?

If they removed the entirety of corporate income tax and forced corporations to do business at home, they wouldn't mind employing US citizens and tax deducting their salaries off their profits.

Ironically, corporate taxes are less in Europe and there is much less outsourcing.

Eh? This is a conservative view? This is contrary to free-market principles...

You'll probably get no response...it's just easier for them to blame Bush on just about everything!

Conservative personal responsabilities values:
Push "George Bush" button = "Blame Bill Clinton"
