In lieu of mounting taxes they can barely afford?

Please show evidence of the 'mounting taxes they can barely afford.'

In lieu of disproportionate and politically-aligned state government (such as ours), who does not have any idea what "industry" is, and how it is needed for a state to exist?

??? Sounds like you're swalling the 'pure capitalism is best' dogma.

In lieu of environmental issues that are unrealistic (like CA's)?

While some of California's regulations may seem unrealistic, are you proposing a return to the 'free market' system where you just dump the crap in the river, like US companies are doing overseas?

In lieu of a workforce whose labor costs increase exponentially year after year?

Really? Even though real wages, adjusted for inflation, have been consistently falling, while executive pay is what's really rising exponentially?

In lieu of unions who stranglehold industry with seemingly little knowledge that industry is the reason unions exist at all?

What unions? Most of the jobs being outsourced have no union affiiliation.

1) No president shook take credit or blame for economic cycles whether they be positive or negative cycles.

Maybe.

2) A business that moves overseas to conduct manufacturing should not be ridiculed as un-American simply because it wants to survive.

Ah yes, when in doubt, wrap it in a flag!

It's not about being un-American, it's about unsustainable economic practices.

And it's more than just manufacturing! It's everything from credit card support reps to EE's

These companies doing the most outsourcing are still recording hefty profits and awarding lavish bonuses (bonii?) to their executives. It's not about survival, it's about turbocharging profits and pocketing the difference.

Pure capitalism is an ugly, ugly thing.
