Marc Andreesen of Mosaic/Netscape fame, has come out strongly in favour of outsourcing.
Outsourcing, says Andreessen is the natural progression of a capitalist society. As employers hire overseas, they free up capital to invest in higher-skilled, higher-paying jobs back home. As US outsourcing helps create consumer classes in places like China and India, US companies benefit from expanded markets for their products.
Andreesen, who is a major contributor to the Democratic campaign, has decided to withhold funds until the party changes it's stand on outsourcing. Andreesen is currently on the board of Opsware Inc. which helps companies manage their outsourcing programs.
