It will hurt any business owner to be in business in the U.S. If you have employees in India or anywhere else, you do not pay taxes, unemployment, health insurance, benefits, etc. I think that it is going to be more cost effective to not have U.S. employees and have to decide if I will close my doors or join in the offshore hoopla. I do know that they work hard and do not call in and will work all holidays. With 48 employees, I had no one that would work the holiday or the holiday weekend and I had to pull four 18-hour shifts in a row.
