Which candidate do you think will be harder on outsourcing of jobs? ?

Question

My whole industry and jobs are being outsourced to India and China, and most of my friends are out of work as result. Neither country has environmental or labor laws, and they pay their people very little. Which candidate do you think will do a better job of protecting US jobs from this abuse?

Answer 1

Ron Paul.

You are SOL with Obama or McCain.  Sorry, believe me.

Answer 2

I dont think either will. I think Obama is lying about it, and McCain says we need re nogtiate NAFTA, not sure what that means

Answer 3

Neither one of them have enough sense to pour p**s out of their boot before they put their foot in it! We are so screwed whichever idiot gets elected. If you think it is bad now just wait!

Answer 4

Ron Paul

Answer 5

High taxes is a goodway to get rid of them.

Answer 6

Neither, until the American people insist on products made in the U.S.A. - it's the Walmart ideology of cheaper is better. Sadly the people that are losing jobs to foreign competition are the sames ones flocking to big box stores and buying their cheap stuff.

Answer 7

Neither.. your talking politicians, what have the state politicians done to protect your jobs and protect from abuse?

Curious.. how much do you think the illegal immigrants are getting paid while working in the USA?

Answer 8

Obama.  He has already said he will stop the tax breaks to companies outsourcing jobs and give them to those who hire Americans.  McCain thinks that things are fine the way they are.

Answer 9

Obama will protect jobs here at home Mccain has voted something like 90% of the time like Bush and if elected it will be business like as usuall or it will be Bush's third term exactly what we do not need!

Answer 10

My engineering job was outsourced to India!  Unfortuneately both will fail at this!  Ron Paul is the only man I have confidence to bring these jobs back home, but between the two major parties...I believe that McCain would do a better job because Obama tax proposals would scare off companies to even be BASED in the U.S. This problem is ABSOLUTELY HUGE!!!  We've built up India's and China's economy so much that the world demand for OIL has driven prices through the roof and many people don't realize that.  We're feeling the ripples now of corporate greed.  I'm not even sure this problem can be fixed, but like I said...McCain would do a better job and Ron Paul would do the best job!

I'd like to believe Artemis, but the fact is that Obama WILL scare companies into leaving the U.S.  It's not hard to believe considering the fact that I had to TRAIN the Indian guy that replaced me, THEN I was let go.  Fix corporate greed and you fix the problem...

Answer 11

neither  

Answer 12

Bob Barr is the presidential candidate who would be best for jobs staying in America, but no one pays attention to "third parties."

It's a shame we take it all the time from the D's and the R's and no one is willing to say the truth - both parties stink and have too much control.

Answer 13

Obama has stated that he will reduce tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.  I pretty sure that with McCain, it will business as usual.

Answer 14

Cynthia McKinney

Answer 15

I have to say,  I feel for you - but I can't quite reach you.  Those jobs are being sent overseas, because we get better results, cheaper.  I myself have put my web design projects out for competitive bid, and EVERY low bid has been by an Indian design firm.  NEVER have I had one from an American company even close.  And in this Internet age, there is simply NOTHING any American politician can do about it.  Business people go where they have to to get the job done.

Answer 16

neither!

what you have understand and other americans is the elitist, want one world government under the UN.

for them to accomplish this, they need to have one world banking and one world courts. look how many times the supreme court used laws from other countries when they try to justify some of their decisions. Which is a voilation of the constitution!

the international money cartels run this country and the other g-8 and g-7 countries, they are all bankrupt! If the common people would take the time to read the federal reserve act. they would march on DC and hang all members of Congress.

what you are seeing now is the final effect of destroying the middle class!

the monies you pay in the so call income tax is really a usage tax on the private federal reserve notes! The fed is a private corporation owned by 13 banking cartels. The Supreme Court has ruled on this several times!

the international monutary funds have been using this money to export American manufacturing since the 40's to break the middles class.

what run's this country is excise taxes on imports. For example Exxon pays $4,000.00 a second in taxes to the federal government, $34,560,000. a day!

add in all the excise taxes on products from China etc. the congress  still can not stop spending!

now you know why they call you a consumer!

see under the bankruptcy, check united states bankruptcy H-R192 all human activity is taxable.

your politicians have done this to you and your children!

Wake up!

  

Answer 17

I am very sympathetic to you since my industry is under attack - software engineering.  I will tell you that the Republican machinary are the ones that have been doing the offshoring of software development jobs for the past 8 years.  In fact, under GWB, most tech jobs and back end work (ie. customer service) have been offshored to India, China, Eastern Europe, or Southeast Asia.  

Obama is the one you should vote for if you want your job to come back to America.  He plans to tax heavily those organizations that send American jobs out of the country and provide financial incentives for those organizations that create jobs here.  Get Obama/Biden as your pick for November.  Save your job.

Answer 18

Presidents have NO impact on job retention or outsourcing, and so long as the Constitution protects the right of citizens to start & run businesses within the law, Congress have nothing to do with it either.

Should the government be allowed to tell YOU who you can buy your breakfast from? Or should that be YOUR choice, based on price, quality & your personal preferences?

Then why should the government decide who my business hires, and what country they live in?

Either you believe in freedom, or you don't!

Answer 19

Obama will work for that.  He has made his life working for people who were up-ended by job loss and outsourcing.  McCain wants to continue giving tax breaks to companies that send jobs overseas.  The people who own those companies help pay for his campaigns.  The republicans represent the people who own the companies, not the people that work for those companies and actually  make them work.  McCain has not said a d**n thing about how he will help stop outsourcing of jobs, because he doesn't want to stop it.  If you want more jobs created, Obama is your man.
