Schumer Turns Eye To Call Center Job Outsourcing

New York Senator Charles Schumer wants to stop the flow of U.S. call center jobs overseas. He is proposing legislation to tax companies 25-cents each time a call is transferred to a foreign country.

"English speaking workers, whether they are in Indonesia, Canada, the Philippines, South Africa, are willing to work longer hours for lower wages and as a result Americans lose their jobs," Schumer said.

The measure would also require telling U.S. customers that their call is being transferred, and to which country.

Well if that idiot is for it, it must be a shit idea. He is a protectionist dolt. One really big reason Americans lose jobs is that the place is increasingly run by morons like Schumer. ...Oschumer...Oblunder..oh shit!

Of course, introducing a bill is far different than getting one passed. If I were to bet, I would say it will not pass congress.
