Why do Republicans pander to corporations? To ship our jobs overseas?

[Jim W, Realist]

Because by doing big business WITH big business they accept large party donations?

At the EXPENSE of working Americans?

Is this why so many of our jobs are going overseas?

And is this the reason why the Republicans have to run on wedge issues in EVERY election cycle?
JK would YOU live on $5/hr?

To create more jobs allowing more people to live better. To maintain those jobs that are available. To allow the whole population to live better. Excellent reasons.

The Dems run on special interest group issues on every election. Wedge (whatever that is) at least sounds better then that form of corruption.

Profits. If you could build widgets for 10 pesos a hour which is about a dollar a hour and ship it into the number one retail economic region tax and tariff free and then sell it at full price so that you could take a $20 million dollar bonus you might do it also. Look they are making huge profits and they don't care if you have a job, thats not what it is about anymore, they are not loyal to this country. Right now the labor is cheap and the exchange rate kicks in in these foreign countries and its bonus time for the executives, they don't know how long it will last and one of the first rules of greed is" get it all now before someone else does". Did you know you can take less than a thousand dollars to India and hire a skilled worker for a year because of the exchange rate, the USA can't compete against that in manufacturing, and you can bet your last dollar as long as free trade is around manufacturing will be almost non existent here.

Greed and avarice.

[marshall]

Well the liberals arent helping jobs stay in USA. Lets tax them more, lets raise the minimum wage. Now why the hell would you wanna raise the minimum wage?

Now business are all out to make profits so why would you pay someone more because there complaining they dont have enough money? You can hire 20 mexicans for the price of 3-5 american workers so of course there going to move outta the country.

To provide jobs even to people that don't appreciate them.

[arcanum70]

Actually, the reason so many of our jobs are going overseas is because Clinton signed NAFTA. But hey, don't let the facts stop you, your a liberal.

[J K]

The jobs are moving overseas because American workers keep demanding $20 an hour to do a $5 an hour job.
