Kerry he is just better for tech

John Kerry will be better for the tech compnay and the tech worker. He will keep tech job here in the US and give tax credits to companies that hire US workers. Also the right want to censor everything we read on the net.

I would point out that it has been democrates like Joseph Liberman who have consistantly lead the charge for censoring movies, music, video games, and the Internet.

Umm... not really

How exactly is he going to keep tech jobs here? That's dictated by the companies, which go for the cheaper labor (and also where things can be done more efficiently). People in the US want too be payed more than people in India, John Kerry isn't going to change that.

Outsourcing is actually GOOD for our economy. It keeps prices low (which consumers.... yes, even you... like very much), and there's little (other than extreme tax cuts... oh wait bush has already been working on them) that can "stop" companies from doing that.
