Well what do you think of the outsourcing of jobs by Corporations? Also What do you think we can do to stop or keep the outsourcing of jobs?

So I definitely hate corporations, of course, and I strongly believe as long as there are going to be these huge corporations, they should not have the right to take away thousands of jobs then outsource them to a country where the workers will work for extremely low wages. So I obviously think it'd be better if there where no huge corporations, and the people themselves would run businesses, because that way it'd be more fair to the workers cause they get to decide what happens to their business.

Job outsourcing is a HUGE threat to the American people and allows huge corporations to exploit poor people living in other countries. For every job they send out of the United States, that's one less job available. That's one more person that will have to stand in the unemployment line, instead of earning a paycheck.

Job outsourcing is one of the many factors that are KILLING the economy. That person standing in the unemployment line could be earning a paycheck, and that paycheck could go back into the economy when he/she buys food, gas, etc. The big multi-million corporations don't want to pay us to work for minimum wage. Seeing they can't do that, they set up a factory or job network in countries like Mexico and India... and make it look like they're giving the poor of other countries a wonderful job opportunity, when in reality they're exploiting the people, paying them A LOT less than our minimum wage.

You're really close there.

I too believe that if more Americans were small businesspeople the world would be different. You don't outsource a company with five people. While I would not forbid large corporations, there are plenty of things a good libertarian could do to limit them, first and foremost their lobbyist power. Nearly every corporation spends scads of money on the Hill getting loopholes put in that benefit them.

Also a true lasseiz faire economy would do wonders for small business while hampering corporations.

This would at least be a start to lessening the extent of outsourcing. Keep in mind, my hubby is a software geek so we know the pinch of outsourcing all too well.
