This is the problem you get from globalization, where a business, developed by a local, enterprising family, into a profitable, successful concern, is bought out by an overseas company who's main concern is making more money. The overseas entity has no connection with the local community, except to ensure it makes more money by insisting that the local division of the company makes just as much profit as those in countries with a lower standard of living. In effect these overseas companies are trying to create an universal playing field in terms of profit not recognizing that they are in effect "ripping off" labor in undeveloped counties while stifling on going profitable businesses elsewhere. Where does Simplot Tasmania sell most of its potato products? If it is Australia then Australian should be the beneficiaries as well as the parent company.
