Spoken like a defender of American management.
Here's the difference between an American-owned company with outsourced workers and a Japanese-owned company building cars in America.
Profits of the outsourcing American-owned company go straight into a manager's pocket so he can invest in a bigger factory in Mexico and outsource jobs.
Income from jobs in America go into Joe the Plumber's pocket. Which is better?
The fact is, due to the globalization of the economy, it is very difficult to tell what is made where.
