In World War II, IBM not only collaborated with the Nazis, but they even used "intellectual property" laws to keep technology out of the hands of the United States military, but shared the information with the Nazi regime.
IBM plans on moving 25% of parts of the workforce to India and China. India is our ally and a Democracy, but China is a rival.
This is going to hurt Americans - we'll be working for less money and have a lower living standard, thanks to IBM. But how much will this hurt our national security? What if the CEO of IBM decides to share high-tech with China, but withholds it from the United States? What if the Board of Directors cuts a deal with the Communist Party?
Imagine a confrontation with China over Taiwan, and China has advanced IBM technology that they withheld from us?
I wonder about General Electric as well...
Which candidate will demand that US Corporations be loyal to the United States?
