True - but its because its too expensive to manufacture here. If it were cheaper, they would not go overseas.

If Verizon cuts the benefits that so many think are too good, do you think that you as a consumer will reap some savings off your monthly bill? If you think that keep dreaming....
I agree, but as a consumer I can go elsewhere and so can employees. If VZ cant get the people to do the jobs, they'll have to improve wages and benefits to attract employees.

Im not saying its a perfect system, its not. I'm saying its not some trap or conspiracy, many work the system to their benefit. It takes sacrifice and work. I think the majority of americans are afraid of hard work. Its much easier to be cynical and blame the man than picking up a shovel and digging through the BS.
