India Outsourcers Find Back Door in Canada

securitas writes "Metro International newspapers Toronto edition reports that more Indian companies are opening back doors into the United States by setting up shop in Canada. The issue of outsourcing, offshoring and nearshoring has become a hot issue, with the 2004 presidential election less than a week away. Candidate John Kerry has said he will close the tax loophole that makes it advantageous to outsource call centers."

"A tenet of the democrats is to help the disadvantaged.". Doesn't it bother you that republicans don't even have that tenant. That they don't believe in helping the disadvantaged?

If that were true, it would be one of the few areas in which I and Republicans actually agree.

Any attempt to neutralize a societal disadvantage through charity will only entrench it further, for two reasons:

1. The more disadvantaged will no longer have any incentive to overcome their deficiency.
2. The less disadvantaged will try to enhance their disability in order to qualify for aid.

Cynical? Yes. That's reality. You don't have to like it or agree with it; you just have to live with it.
