Leland, On the surfce, you make a good argument which is easy to agree with, however, the three biggest reasons that cause companies to relocate either to other locations within the U. S. or to foreign countries are high taxes, excessive regulations, and corrupt labor unions. If you believe that no U.S. company should outsource jobs than you would also have to expect that foreign companies would not insource jobs to the U.S. Companies like Akzo Nobel, BASF corp, B.P., Ecolab, Honda, Tomkins, Sodeco, and many other foreign owned companies would have to leave Illinois. Galesburg Ill. may not in itself caused Matag to relocate, but hostility toward large employers in the U.S. certainly contributed to their decision.

That means constantly redefining and constantly honing ones job skills, even to the point of becomming multi-talented to prepare for such an event.
