First of all, guys like you should be running more large American companies!
But Wayne, would it not get a bit dicey if, to serve your customers better and to stay in business, you were forced to use products or services that you KNEW were taking jobs away from Americans.
I never ran a company but I did have to deal with the loss of American jobs thing when I was doing foreign assignments for my company. I knew that if I did what I was being paid to do (increase the productivity and efficiency of foreign manufacturing plants) I was positively taking jobs away from workers in our domestic plants.
No easy answers to the globalization mess.
