Workers in foreign countries will work for far less money than American workers can survive on. Outsourcing takes advantage of that fact. Minimum wage is a base amount that a worker should be paid. The two concepts are not contradictory.
For example, if a worker in a foreign country is willing to work for 25 cents an hour, should that influence how much a fast food worker in the US should be paid? Obviously not. Minimum wage is not even a living wage. It is a base amount that is set in order to try to address exploitation of workers.

Who doesn't want more money?
Liberals don't understand economics? So retarded.
Let's lower your salary or move your job overseas and put you out of work and let you find another job at a lower salary and let's see how quickly you understand your own personal economic situation.
Economics 101, the more money people spend, the bigger the economy grows.
