    Look at the statistics, in the grand scheme, VERY FEW jobs are overseas compared to what is here.
    The only jobs going overseas are jobs Americans wouldnt do anyway IE sub $10 hour
    WHAT? dude you need to get educated. I'm sorry but that is one of the worst statements you have made. we out source all kinds of jobs from manufacturing, engineering, R&D, etc

    you need to get out of the country some. they outsource any job they can hire 2+ more people to do at a lower rate w/o having to offer the benefits we have. if you were a CEO why wouldn't you do the same? A lot has to do with incentives vs cost. There are non to keep these jobs here.

    do you know what jobs pay min wage? farming, fast food, retail, etc... which of those are we going to move over seas? don't bother mentioning manufacturing b/c they are already moved over seas.

    We still do alot of manufacturing here in the US, but its more assembly than the manufacturing of individual parts. Many of those jobs start at a very low wages, between the current minimum wage and the eventual new minimum wage. If we continue to raise the minimum wage, why should a company continue to pay someone $7+ an hour for a job that is only worth 3?

    this is why education is such a key to success of a society. in one breath republicans complain about gov't leeches yet they don't want to support min wage. can you live on min wage? how do you expect others to?
