The Problem Isn't Outsourcing. It's That Big Business
Is Disconnected From the Well-Being of Most Americans
Posted: 07/19/2012 8:43 am
President Obama is
slamming Mitt Romney for heading companies that were "pioneers in
outsourcing U.S. jobs," while Romney is accusing Obama of being "the
real outsourcer-in-chief."
These are the dog
days of summer and the silly season of presidential campaigns. But can we get
real, please?
The American economy
has moved way beyond outsourcing abroad or even "in-sourcing." Most
big companies headquartered in America don't send jobs overseas and don't bring
jobs here from abroad.
That's because most
are no longer really "American" companies. They've become global
networks that design, make, buy, and sell things wherever around the world it's
most profitable for them to do so.
As an Apple executive
told the New York Times, "we don't have an obligation to
solve America's problems. Our only obligation is making the best product
possible." He might have added "and showing profits big enough to
continually increase our share price."
Forget the debate
over outsourcing. The real question is how to make Americans so competitive
that all global companies -- whether or not headquartered in the United States
-- will create good jobs in America.
Apple employs 43,000
people in the United States but contracts with over 700,000 workers overseas.
It assembles iPhones in China both because wages are low there and because
Apple's Chinese contractors can quickly mobilize workers from company dorms at
almost any hour of the day or night.
But low wages aren't the major force
driving Apple or any other American-based corporate network abroad. The
components Apple's Chinese contractors assemble come from many places around
the world with wages as high if not higher than in the United States.
More than a third of what you pay for an iPhone ends up in Japan, because that's where
some of its most advanced components are made. Seventeen percent goes to
Germany, whose precision manufacturers pay wages higher than those paid to
American manufacturing workers, on average, because German workers are more
highly skilled. Thirteen percent comes from South Korea, whose median wage isn't
far from our own.
Workers in the United
States get only about 6 percent of what you pay for an iPhone. It goes to
American designers, lawyers, and financiers, as well as Apple's top executives.
American-based
companies are also doing more of their research and development abroad. The
share of R&D spending going to the foreign subsidiaries of American-based
companies rose from 9 percent in 1989 to almost 16 percent in 2009, according
to the National Science Foundation.
What's going on? Put
simply, America isn't educating enough of our people well enough to get
American-based companies to do more of their high-value added work here.
Our K-12 school
system isn't nearly up to what it should be. American students continue to do
poorly in math and science relative to students in other advanced countries.
Japan, Germany, South Korea, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Sweden, and France all
top us.
American universities
continue to rank high but many are being starved of government funds and are
having trouble keeping up. More and more young Americans and their families
can't afford a college education. China, by contrast, is investing like mad in
world-class universities and research centers.
Transportation and
communication systems abroad are also becoming better and more reliable. In
case you hadn't noticed, American roads are congested, our bridges are in
disrepair, and our ports are becoming outmoded.
So forget the debate
over outsourcing. The way we get good jobs back is with a national strategy to
make Americans more competitive -- retooling our schools, getting more of our
young people through college or giving them a first-class technical education,
remaking our infrastructure, and thereby guaranteeing a large share of
Americans add significant value to the global economy.
But big
American-based companies aren't pushing this agenda, despite their huge clout
in Washington. They don't care about making Americans more competitive. They
say they have no obligation to solve America's problems.
They want lower
corporate taxes, lower taxes for their executives, fewer regulations, and less
public spending. And to achieve these goals they maintain legions of lobbyists
and are pouring boatloads of money into political campaigns. The Supreme Court
even says they're "people" under the First Amendment, and can
contribute as much as they want to political campaigns - even in secret.
The core problem isn't outsourcing. It's that the prosperity
of America's big businesses -- which are really global networks that happen to
be headquartered here--- has become disconnected from the well-being of most
Americans.
Mitt Romney's Bain
Capital is no different from any other global corporation -- which is exactly
why Romney's so-called "business experience" is irrelevant to the
real problems facing most Americans.
Without a government
that's focused on more and better jobs, we're left with global corporations
that don't give a damn.

RAZA SUPREMACIST HILDA SOLIS, SEC. OF DEPT OF LABOR.

LA RAZA HILDA SOLIS - The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien
Labor
President Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is supposed to
represent American workers. What you need to know is that this longtime
open--borders sympathizer has always had a rather radical definition of
"American." At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los
Angeles many years ago, Solis asserted to thunderous applause, "We are all
Americans, whether you are legalized or not."
That's right. The woman in charge of enforcing our
employment laws doesn't give a hoot about our immigration laws ---- or about
the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of
the American dream and those who didn't.

Labor Secretary Pledges Help For
Illegal Workers
Last Updated: Tue,
06/22/2010 - 11:00am
Two
months after the Department of Labor launched a special program to assist and
protect illegal immigrants in the U.S. the Obama cabinet official who heads the
agency is personally encouraging undocumented workers to report employers that
don’t pay them fairly.
In
a Spanish-language public service announcement, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis
assures that “every worker in America has a right to be paid fairly, whether
documented or not.” Illegal aliens who are not getting fair wages are encouraged
to call a new hotline set up by the agency on a new “Podemos Ayudar” (We
Can Help) web page designed to administer worker protection laws and ensure
that employees are properly paid “regardless of immigration status.”
In
the short video, also posted in English, Solis tells illegal immigrants that
it’s a “serious problem” when workers in this country are not paid fairly and
that all workers have the right to receive their salary regardless of
immigration status. She encourages those who are not to call the new hotline
and assures it’s free and confidential. “Podemos ayudar,” (we can help), Solis
guarantees at the end of the brief segment.
The
Labor Secretary’s new message is part of a campaign launched a few months ago
to help illegal immigrant workers in the U.S., who she refers to as “vulnerable” and
“underpaid.” At least 1,000 new
field investigators have been deployed to reach out to Latino laborers in areas
with large numbers of illegal alien employees and the agency will focus on
enforcing labor and wage laws in industries that typically hire lots of illegal
aliens without reporting anyone to federal immigration authorities.
For
a government agency to protect law breakers in this fashion may seem
unbelievable but not if you consider the source. A Former California
congresswoman, Solis has close ties to the influential La Raza movement that
advocates open borders and rights for illegal immigrants. She made the
protection of undocumented workers a major priority upon being named Labor
Secretary, assuring illegal aliens that “if you work in this country, you are
protected by our laws.”
"While the declining job market in the United States
may be discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal aliens
continues unabated, with many entering the United States as drug-smuggling
"mules."

PUTTING
ILLEGALS IN OUR JOBS
OBAMA AND HIS LA RAZA INFESTED ADMINSTRATION
Sonia
Sotomayor opposes E-Verify requirement –
True to form, she said it was illegal to make employers
e-verify citizen status of new hires.
Interesting, she says a state cannot force employers to
check if employees they are hiring are illegal. Thankfully the court ruled 5-3
supporting law. But now we know for sure just how extreme far left Obama's
choice was. We cannot afford Obama to get another term, or you can bet this
country will be overrun by illegals. I don't want this country to be poor and
corrupt like Mexico, which it will if illegals overrun the country.

“What we're seeing is our Congress and

more rights and privileges than Americans. If you are an illegal alien, you can
drive a car without a driver's license or insurance. You may obtain medical
care without paying. You may work without paying taxes. Your children enjoy
free education at the expense of taxpaying Americans.”

Casting a shadow on
economic recovery efforts in the United States is the cost of illegal
immigration that consumes U.S. taxpayer dollars for education, healthcare,
social welfare benefits, and criminal justice. Illegal aliens (or more
politically correct, “undocumented immigrants”) with ties to Mexican drug
cartels are contributing to death and destruction on U.S. lands along the
southern border.
While the declining job market in the United States may be discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal aliens continues unabated, with many entering the United States as drug-smuggling “mules.”
