They don't want to pay taxes in places that don't value infrastructure, and don't want to pay American workers.. then let them deal with massive power outages in their call centers and tech centers.

For all the money people like Bain, and Microsoft, and the banks , have sunk into India with our jobs and investments, you'd think they'd get their shit together over there.

Bring the damn jobs back to America.
