Anarcho-capitalist libertarianism

[Tiberius]

Bullshit. There are plenty of hungry people that will line up for whatever meger crumbs are offered. We tried that "let's not work for those cheap bastards" approach here in the southern (deep) United States. Doesn't work. Know why? Too many hungry people south of the border trampling over themselves to happily take the meger crumbs.

Indeed, there will be many people who take low paid jobs so that they can afford food, but that wasn't my argument. No company can survive by paying abysmal amounts to the skilled worker, since no skilled worker would ever work for such a company. There will always been people who can only do menial work, and there will always be those (for whatever reason) who have skills that allow them to work for high salaries. My point still stands, if a company pays too little, no worker will work for that company.

Really? Guess you haven't seen USAA lately. Come and tour their main offices here in San Antonio Texas. You'd swear the plane landed in India and not the U.S. Halliburton anybody? How about KBR? They just uprooted and relocated in Dubai. Many companys do outsource a majority of their workers solely for the purposes of inflating that bottom line and fuck the general populous. You really think a company has any interest in paying their front-line workers enough to (in your words) 'get rich' and possibly become their competition?

That isn't outsourcing all it's work. Learn to read points before you try to rebut them. In any case, surely these companies are creating jobs for the people in India? You socialists have a very distorted view of fairness: "Companies should be creating jobs for people! Oh wait...they are? Shit...well, they should only create jobs for people in MY country!". So what is your solution? Make sure that a company can't hire foreigners, and fuck the Indian people whom they currently employ?

A company has an interest in paying a competitive salary to its workers so they don't look for other jobs. It may surprise you, but a company actually needs employees to get stuff done. If your competitor is offering more money for the same job, your employee may leave your company for theirs. Companies not only have to try and make the most profit, but they have to balance that with providing an attractive environment for their employees.

Which is why they do it.

Not all of them, and certainly not all of the work. I'm fine with globalisation, it's creating jobs in other countries. Why shouldn't a company be able to hire people in other countries? Give me a good reason.

Yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah.... Your ancedotal evidence is meaningless here. I can sit here and cite examples of corporate evil doings just as well as you can cite examples of corporate love.

My anecdotal evidence doesn't serve to enforce my point, no, but it certainly rallies against yours (and others) that all companies are evil and want nothing more than to treat their employees like slaves. Companies like this aren't exceptions to the rule, they are the rule. I've spoken with entrepreneurs, business owners, and general employees from a multitude of different companies, all of which have loved the work they do, and the salary they do it for. The vast majority of businesses aren't involved in scandals, but of course only scandal in business seems to make the news these days.
