outsourcing american jobs

Outsourcing american jobs.
For the last 17 years outsourcing american jobs has been the main focous ofthe Us goverment. George Bush senior was first one to start outsourcing american jobs and pushed for free trade deals. Clinton signed the free trade deals called nafta and Bush junoir signd into effect Cafta.
The idea of outsourcing american jobs it to find cheap labor. This is suppose to help companioes produce products cheaper. The main reason is profit for companies and does nothing for workers.
The Goverment says are standard of living improves but the facts so other wise. Most people have seen wages stay same or drop over last 17 years. Millions of high paying Us jobs have been outsourced over seas. They tell us that millions of new jobs have been created but never say how much they pay.
Most of the outsourcing american jobs have taken high paying jobs and sent them to other countries. They are replaced by jobs in the Usa that pay less and sometimes have no medical insurance. The trade off is a bad deal for the USa and only companies make money off the deal.
The idea of outsourcing american jobs is suppose to raise standard of living because thinsg will be cheaper.. the fatc is companies move over seas and sell producst for same prices yet pay no taxes for the USa. The public winds up paying higher taxes because we loose taxes when a company goes over seas.
Think about it you pay higer taxes now than before. You are paying taxes that used to be paid by companies now we have to fill in the void. As far as outsourcing american jobs being good and raising Us taxpayers standards of living it has not happened. It has made the Us standard of living go down.
We are not only outsourcing american jobs we now are in sourceing US jobs to cheap Mexican illegal aliens. The fact that the goverment says no american will do the jobs they do is a lie. Americans did those jobs for years but now can not do thjem because illegal aliens lowered the wages that are paid.
A good example would be construction workers. In california a drywall hanger used to make $15 to $25 a hour. Now they are paid $10 and under. No one who pays taxes can live of that in california. Most drywall hangers in califonria are now illegal aliens.
This is another outsourceing of US jobs that makes all are wages goi down not up. Yes it is cheaper to hire illegal aliens but they cost the USa billions each year for medical schooling and even welfare. The goverment even makes us taxpayers pay for illegal aliens college while legal citizens can not get money to pay for thier children.
If outsourcing american jobs worked like they say we would all be seeing great profits from stocks. Why has stock prices not moved in 6 years how is you 401 k doing. Companies have seen a 200% increase in profits yet stock s are the same or lower. This is same with american wages and living standards.
The free trade deals are made to bring other countries up in living standards and have only brought the USa down. Chevy sent thousands of jobs to mexico and pay mexicans a few dollars a hour. This did not bring thier standard of living upo and brought the Us workers who used to make the cars down.
Plain and simple outsourcing american jobs does not raise the US standard of living it only brings it down.
Email and call your senators and congress members. Tell them to close Us mexico border and enforce are laws deport illega aliens. if they wnat to come here fine do it like everyone else does. Also tell them we want FAIR TRADE NOT FREE TRADE AT EXSPENSE OF us JOBS AND STANDARD OF US CITIZENS LIVING.
The link for senate and congres is on right hand side make sure to call them or they will let millions more illegal aliens into the usa and drive wages and the standard of living down for legal US citizens.
