Creates jobs? These days, once a business reaches a certain size it seeks to offshore the jobs to a lower-price economy to maximize profit. The business isn't actually creating $ or jobs, in fact it displaces other smaller businesses and the jobs they used to offer.

Really? And exactly where do you get your information from. I can tell you from personal experience that this is not the case. I just got a contract 2 weeks ago from a large international firm that is on track for its best year ever. In the last quarter this company has hired around 200 people. That is local people. Not jobs off shore.
