Outsourcing / Offshoring

This is a cartoon published in 2012, on St Louis Post-Dispatch journal by cartoonist Matson. It deals with outsourcing and offshoring. In this cartoon we can see, in the foreground, a man standing on an island explaining what outsourcing and offshoring is to his grandchildren. He is barefoot and digging a hole in which we can guess he is going to burry the treasure case he has next to him, in which is writting Romney, so we can conclude that this man is acaricature of Mitt Romney ex-governor of Massachussets. In front of him there is a boat named "Belivin' In America", in which there are two persons, a boy and a girl, who are listening to the man on the island and call him "Grandpa Mitt". They seem to be admiring him for what he is doing. On the background we can some islands with their names on it (Switzerland and Bermuda), and a cross as to mark where a treasure is, like hunting treasure maps. The island in which the first character is standing has also its name on it, "Cayman Islands".
This cartoon is a critic to the outsourcing of Mitt Romney, who has tried to be president various times, and it shows him like a man who teaches his family to do outsourcing and offshoring to evade taxes and also to pit their money on tax heaven islands or countries.
This cartoon deals with outsourcing and offshoring qhich is a current matter in our world because most entreprises and high payed people are always trying to evade taxes in their country so they go to others in order to gain more and spend less. In this cartoon it talks about Mitt Romney qho is a man with various grey bussines in his hands and, so does his wife. And so, showing in this cartoon Romney's grandchildeen hints in the concern that his children and grandchildren whiledo has e does and more money will evade those taxes that helps a country's economy, and the grey bussines will go on.

This is a cartoon by Geek and Poke, from the series Simply Explained, released in 2008. It talks about offshoring, and explains in a caricaturical way how it works. In this picture we can see two persons having a conversation, the one on the left explains to the man on the right what are his problems with his company, saying that he has to relocate again his bussiness because his employees wanted to get paid. The man on the right's reaction is to say "unbelievable" as he is shocked. 

With this image the cartoonist wanted to critizice the CEOs of those companiess who relatocate to a cheaper country when the one they are in start to ask for more money. What is ironical i this situarion is that at first if seems that he had no choice but to move his bussines because the employees wanted more than they had, but then we discover that they just wanted to get paid which is something they ahould already have. It critizice the hipocresy of those people who want to pay the less the better
