Forum Post: Outsourcing: Bring the jobs home

Bring the jobs home. For starters, in a protest we can all do from home, refuse to deal with companies whose customer service is not on US soil. Requesting their location or that you are transferred to the US drives them crazy. Now "Peggy" will no longer tell you he/she is in India, Pakistan, or the Philippines.

There are a significant amount of long term unemployed US citizens. My guess is that we're starting to learn our lesson and accept jobs just to keep our children fed and our house paid. BRING THE JOBS BACK.

Start a list of outsourcing corporations to avoid. I did not purchase Sirius / XM radio and will not as a direct result of their outsourcing.

Fail. You need to understand the cause before you offer solutions.

I agree with your goal, but I believe we need tariffs. http://economyincrisis.org/

Dude, even if they brought 'jobs home' again, you wouldn't have one...AND, AND, if someone worked really freakin' hard & smart at one of those jobs and made their way to the top of the company or started their own and got paid more than $250,000 per year, you would hate them and try to take away their money using the thug IRS to do it!!!! So shut up and go work at Starbucks, http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SBUX , and serve that coffee grown in South America and picked by South American labor (non-union, of course). Another OWS hypocrite !!!!

Yea...that goes for Toyota, Nissan Honda, BMW Hyundai, Mercedes, and BP. Make them take back their stinking foreign jobs to their own countries as well.

You fucking simpleton. Ever think what would happen if everyone had cavemen type idea like yours> It's world economy pinhead.
