Dimman, corporations don't need to muck with politicians to export jobs and cut costs :P Jobs going overseas is more like economics doing its thing. Doing sketchy business out of the country is possibly the more honest work of some organizations!
Government controls too much of our finances in this country, so everyone expects Uncle Sam to be helping them out. When I read about politics, it always feels like everyone is desperate to get a bigger cut of the pie for themselves, rich or poor. Whatever happened to self determination? Free market? When the government picks certain people/groups to support, that's not fair competition...

There are protectionist issues such as tariffs and 'dumping' type issues, that for some reason the USA has no issue sticking it to Canada (despite sharing a free trade agreement) with over lumber, yet will completely look the other way on US manufacturing companies running overseas and taking US jobs and US gov't taxes with them. The hypocrisy shows that there is clearly some kind of collusion going on.
