The rich keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer, and the middle class is disappearing. Now I understand this problem, because it's pretty well spelled out on the evening news relatively frequently. I'm not an economist, I tend to get a headache when I reconcile my checkbook at the end of the month, but I do have a question.
Doesn't it seem likely that the trend of rich people getting even richer and poor people getting even more poor could have something to do with the increased number of companies that are outscourcing their work? I mean doesn't it seem likely that the fact that I have difficulty calling customer service for ANY company and speaking to someone whose native language happens to be English might have something to do with this? Isn't that situation designed right from the beginning to save the rich people a LOT of money in salaries and benifits, while also insuring that there are fewer jobs for American people? and woulnd't that have a pretty big impact on all those numbers and graphs in the previous posts.
Again I don't know what I'm talking about. Please don't be offended if my question shows a total lack of understanding and education on the subject matter, I'm curious, but totally ignorant.
