How can outsourcing be stopped?

Answer 1

Here are opinions and input from different FAQ Farmers: * By convincing employers that the investment in keeping jobs at home is the only way to avoid losing the market for their products. If all the jobs are outsourced, then there won't be any disposable income to spend on luxuries, like computers. The U. S. market will collapse, and trade will come to a standstill. All because executives are trying to keep profits at unrealistic levels, so that investers will favor the companies stock. The future is being sacrificed so that a few investers can spend their time sitting by the pool, instead of actually working for a living. Outsourcing is a way to keep the dividend checks flowing to the stockholders a little longer, so that the illusion of wealth can be maintained. * Outsourcing can only be stopped by big government. The government would need to completely close its borders to trade. Otherwise, companies that want to compete in a competitive marketplace with other companies offering the same products and services need to keep their costs down. Economists since Adam Smith have recognized that free trade is the better solution in the long run. The US economy was built on free trade. Other countries have tried to manipulate their economies and their people suffered for it. Consider this: how many Mexican companies outsource to the US? And would you like it if they did? Well making businesses realize that the economy ISN'T going to get better with more people being unemployed and that they are only causing a chain reaction in the economy. For instance, if you are laid off, you will only buy the essentials when your money is tight; food, water, etc. You won't buy items like DVDs, Video Games, etc., since they are non-essential to your survival. This means that the business that sells these goods now has a drop in sales, so they lay off people, who in turn can't buy items from other businesses, who in turn lay off even more people. See a pattern here?
