Outsourcing Jobs and USA's Greed
Here is where I come from financially:
My dad grew up on a small corn farm in Iowa, he was one of 4 brothers. When he was 18 he hitchhiked to California, and was a Janitor in a daycare in exchange for being able to live at the facility (in a storage closet). He also worked in a warehouse for a company (can't mention what field exactly, but it is electric like). He then memorized the catalog, and proved through hard work that he was a good worker. Eventually get was moved into the office doing petty work, he excelled and then moved into sales. He was the #1 salesman after only 3 months. He then attended night class at a community college but only finished 2 years.
He got a big break when a regional distribution company in that field went broke (the office that went broke had 8 employees). My dad moved to the area and setup an office with another another person. My dad did all the work, bought out his co-owner, and hired a secretary and a engineer. Now my dad has 30 people working for him and he has sole distribution rights to 8 states and contracts with major stores (where you guys probably buy alot of stuff). So from corn farmer to multi-millionaire...
And now a couple other things... 25% return? wow... I am an avid investor (IPOs, venture capital, stocks, and a bit of bonds) and 25% is really good. Most I have made in one year is 22% average return, but then again I have only been investing 3 years and that was mostly from an venture capital investment that was really successful.Dr.Hashman Reviewed by Dr.Hashman on . Outsourcing Jobs and USA's Greed People in the United States (and more importantly, my mom) are getting fed up with outsourcing jobs to places like India and China. I asked her this when she went off on a nice 10 minute rant about how letting Virgin Airlines into the US commercial flight industry, "Do you support hunger in India and China?" What I mean by question is money/wealth is being stored up in the US and that is why we have a high standard of living. In India and China (Not the high-tech commercial parts) there is Rating: 5
