I fear having to see the day when countries like India, Philippines and other centers of off-shored employment start posting terror alerts in regards to future attacks by blue-collar Americans coming overseas and knocking out call-centers and factories.

There's no substance to this. Your post is a bunch of rambling and ranting.

Quoted for extreme truth. Off shoring is killing the salaries of America's professional workers. Illegals are a massive tax burden and they bring violent crime and gang activity.

They aren't worthy of being called conservatives. A traditional conservative is in favor of small budgets, etc. Palin is a corporate stooge.

Neither do you but I had a little fun rubbing your nose in it, and at least what I am posting about is painstakingly obvious where as you posted some obscure report from like 10 years ago. I did think that the google link that other poster posted was the best nose rub though lol.

You should definitely look into the links that I posted in my previous post. Honestly, just do yourself that favor.

You'll notice that out of the developed nations of the world, the U.S. has the highest GINI coefficient, meaning that it has the largest distribution of wealth skewed in the direction of the wealthiest 1% of any first world industrialized nations.

Definition: The Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion developed by the Italian statistician Corrado Gini and published in his 1912 paper "Variability and Mutability" (Italian: Variabilità e mutabilità). It is commonly used as a measure of inequality of income or wealth.

I don't think so either Huck.

I live in a city that is a perfect example of the illegal workers and work for a company that came right out and admitted (after massive lay offs) they would continue to outsource while workers in Manilla did it cheaper.

(Note: I work for a big well known media source who writes articles on other companies who do this....without admitting they do it too!)

Here's an idea. Don't buy their products or services if they are marketed towards the general public.

You know, I was subbing a special ed asst. 7th grade last week and was in a social studies class where the teacher was beginning the subject of the rise of fascism, WWII leading to the Cold War.

A student asked how did a democratic, "civilized" country like Germany pre-Hitler so easily succumb to such a monster and the teacher almost said what you said above word for word. Kind of scary......
