I outsource a lot of my work to India, Russia and other locations, I don't feel bad about it. I remember all the drives to raise money for the for the poor in other countries, everyone felt so great being a mini-philantropist. The same people who were happy to give away money are screaming because people overseas are able to work for a living. Americans are all for competition and globalization as long as they can be protective of jobs. What did you think globalization meant?
Never forget perspective changes issues. Is it offshore if you live offshore? Who's shore is it? Do you think everything revolves around America? Do you have a god-given right to have all the money and work, to dispense as you see fit, with no reponsibility to compete on price? If the internet allows intelligent and proficient workers to compete for contracts and win them based on merit, it's enormously hypocritical to daemonize companies who want to take advantage of it. If America was getting lots of work from the internet, which it is, I don't think you would complain about it.
