Ruining people just to grab that extra little bit of profit: that is why the capitalism we have is so abhorrent.

The lack of social respect at the expense of profit for the few seems very damning.
I apologise if by people contribuitng nothing you weren't actually talking about the shareholders, but the union bosses - because then I agree with you.
On another note you could say that the benefits to India by gaining 1000 jobs both to individuals and the economy outweighs the losses to the UK.
I can see both sides, protectionist policies are normally expencive and dont work, but unchecked capitalism is brutal and harsh.
Of course its easy to complain about jobs going elsewhere, but the flip side to this global economy is TV's from china at £50 or cheap t-shirts and cars.
What actual work have shareholders done?
Or are you saying that them making money on having money is acceptable behaviour?
Much as I dislike union bosses, I';d say they contribute far more than shareholders who leach money away from those who have earned it.
But that would be wrong too.
Indian workers are getting exploited just as much. Again, they are not getting the full worth of their employment.
Shareholders are doing it to line their pockets at the expense of the rest of humanity.
If its not acceptable to you dont ever take out a loan or use a bank.
I must say I have very little sympathy for shareholders who moan about losing fortunes when something goes wrong. I despise the whole stock exchange/shares system- it is a necessary evil at best, and it only seeks to benefit investors at the expense of workers and consumers.
