So, why are people complaining about how other countries are taking their jobs? Why not look at your own country and ask - what can it do to create NEW jobs, and WHY have almost every politician in the western world not done this yet?
Our forefathers did not create the world we live in by complaining - they went out there and fought for it!

What are they supposed to do?
Tell me please, what can the politicians do to create more $80k per year jobs? Jobs that no one in India/China/Russia can duplicate for their $16k per year salaries?
All of the tax breaks in the world won't help.
New York gave tons of tax breaks to its businesses and still they're leaving in droves (Fulton has been devastated since Nestle picked up and left), same with California and tons of other states... why pay 100 workers $10/hr when you can pay 100 workers $1/hr somewhere else? You'll save yourself $900 per hour by simply moving elsewhere.
What are the politicians supposed to do to combat that?
