Tax cuts and outsourcing

I'm not sure how you draw a connection between tax cuts for the wealthy and moving jobs overseas.

If you look at something like the graph below, I see a steady rising curve, driven, in my opinion, by the ever-increasing ability to move large amounts of information online in realtime, not by any specific Bush fiscal policy. To really get a better idea, I'd like to see these numbers back into the 1990s or even earlier.

The truth is, these numbers would probably be the same if Gore was president.

Plenty of papers have pointed out that outsourcing is not the major source of current employment problems, or even a significant source.
