My view is that it is large corporations that moved manufacturing plants overseas because labor was cheaper and they wanted to increase the bottom line putting a lot of hardworking Americans out of work.

Now the next step is showing.. those same companies are now investing in overseas companies thereby enabling them to gain technological advances such as in chip manufacturing.

The third step (or maybe the fourth) will be that the board members are going to retire with big fat checks and the next generation or so will have to deal with all the BS caused by people that their only motivation is chasing a dollar. There are some things more important than chasing a dollar. Yeah everyone deserves to make a decent profit, but sometimes loyalty to the people that got you to where you are and other times, nationalist loyalty should come into play when the decision effects people and the nations economy.

Wow.. you must have hit a nerve.. I usually dont rant like that..

I definately think america is being overtaken in many ways, from manufacturing to tech work. Soon that cheap outsourced labour will do a better job than americans ever could and americans will be left looking for jobs.
