Speaking out about corporate outsourcing

I recently had a billing problem with DirecTV. Believe it or not, I spoke to a person in Manila, Phillipines. I could barely understand the lady, so I asked her, “Where are you located?” She replied, “I am in Manila, Phillipines.” Wow, this country has so many unemployed people. Everyone complains about Obama and the unemployed, why don’t these people complain to corporations about outsourcing to cheap labor, who you can’t understand when they speak?

DirecTV is not cheap, but pay low wages to third world country employees. By the way, I called DirecTV and told them what I thought.

As a moderate Republican I am just shaking my head at the mindless automatons we actually call elected officials who have been storming around causing complete chaos on Capitol Hill for two weeks.
