last night i saw on current tv a story about an american IT pro whose job had been outsourced to india, so he decided to go to bangalore to see the other side of the story.
after staying there a month with an indian family, whose man was manager of a call centre there. the american even worked a while there to see what it was like.
he made a reflection at the end of the doc, in which he said his losing his job in the US probably translated to supporting 16 indians, and he concluded it was worthwhile...

he was an unusually aware person, it's not a line of logic that would probably win many votes stateside.
