I am a brazilian programer and I see a simple reality here: The American way of life is too expensive and not sustainable.
The salary of a intermadiate programmer in USA is the same of a high level manager here.
My company is a CMM level 2 with 5000 employes, I spend 1/4 of my salary with taxes, and my country signed the "Kioto Protocol" which USA didn't. "The U.S. has laws governing polution, working conditions, benefits, etc. " someone told.
My country have all of this as well. And much more cheap.
Ask the australian and indian fellows in this discution. They will tell you the same.
With my salary (something about US$ 2K/month or 26k/year with all the benefits like health care, life insurance, one month vacancy,etc..) I live very well in my country. I have a house, a good car and I have the best salary of my friends.
So, what is wrong to outsource jobs here?
I have a sugestion: vote! But vote in politicians that care with the rest of the world. There are no the poor people of India or China. There is the poor people of the world.
The world is our house and our contry, and the
USA is not separeted of the rest. The probrems here in Brasil, or in China or India or Africa, soon or later will reflect in someway in the USA and Europe.
In the next American election, are the candidates discuting about foreign police? Is war the only American foreign police?
Thank you all.
Well, I think that you must know the "foreign" rules before tell your opinion. I am a brasilian worker and I can assure you that we have severe laws to protect workers and my country has signed the "Kioto Protocol". The USA didn't. I tell you, the american way of life is too expensive and not sustainable. And if the americans do not start to re-think how thay live and how they spend the money, the movement of jobs to the third world will increase year after year

I think this misconception came from texts like this one:

Anyway, the point is: the third world countries have their laws and regulations. Like we say here: we are poor but honest.
