Except, of course, many that CAN'T leave the country: Teachers, cops,
government clerks, etc. The "public service" union members.

Come to think on it, if McDonalds can take and process your order via an
internet link to India, why can't the local MVD do much of the same? Just
think how much in wages a state could save by putting its 911 operators,
county clerk's office, and the like in Bombay!
