Reply #20: Grrr! *'s answer ...

as you've been saying, but I must join in -- implies that companies are going overseas because they can't find competent skilled labor here in the US. BS. What they can't find is competent skilled labor that is willing to work for the wages that people in other countries will. It's about the money, not about not being able to find qualified people, jerk! And, no, the reason we Americans are not willing to work for that much less is not because we are greedy. Most of us COULDN'T survive on any less than what we're making. Food, housing, clothing, health care -- it's all expensive! And on top of it, we have to send our kids to college without getting any help at all. It's just so asinine. How dare * say something like that? How dare he when we are all working so hard, some of us two and three jobs, only to have the rug pulled out from under us? I personally don't want anything that fancy. I am perfectly content driving a small, older car and living in a modest home. I just want to be able to afford to go to the doctor when I need to and maybe -- just maybe -- take some vacations once in a while and maybe take a class or two because working is not all there should be to life.

Okay, this rant is getting out of hand, but it just makes me so angry!
