"I think the better question to ask is why are they moving these jobs over seas? And is the answer to them moving jobs away more regulation or more freedom in the marketplace?"

Is that the only possibilities you can conjure up?

How about greed? Pure, unadulterated greed. Do you think that is possible? Do you think companies making a good profit in America have moved their jobs overseas simply because they can make an even better profit? That's just the way capitalism works? Have you thought of that??
