That's PART of the American Way, yes...

And here's the other part. Until we collectively get massively pissed 
off and actually STOP SHOPPING with these companies, they're going to 
CONTINUE doing what works. UNTIL they feel some pain, all the pissing 
and moaning in the world won't help. So IF you still buy from Dell and 
IF you still shop a Walmart, YOU'RE NOT HELPING.

It seems a lot of people want the government to do something to stop the 
evil outsourcing, but still want to save a few bucks shopping with these 
same companies.

I do think it's the American Way to highlight the activities of 
"representatives" in Government who facilitate some of the nonsense such 
as bringing IN cheap labor.

I know some of this is natural, and must happen. But I also think 
there's a lot of greed in play.
