Well, you blame people because you presume that they actually have a voice and a vote within corporations (including the government). Guess what, they don't. Corporations are amongst the most totalitarian institutions known to mankind. 99.99% of all decision making within a corporation takes place in a board by not even 0.5% of the employees.
If you choose to blame 100% of the people on decisions made by not even 0.5% of the employees... be my guest.
Most people today make the wrong decision most of the time. That is what economists found out the hard way with the collapse of the housing market. It wasn't 0.5% of people making bad decisions, but it was most people, from the home buyer to the banks to the government. Same thing with outsourcing. Most people will not pay more to take jobs back to America.
And again, corporations and government are made up of people just like you, just like anybody. Look a George Lucas, a liberal who hated corporations, then became a large and powerful corporation himself. Look at Arnold, an immigrant who went from nothing to becoming governor of the eighth largest economy in the world.
And by the way, consumers do have a voice and they do have the power, if only they would use it.

Dell decided to stop routing tech support calls for some of its corporate products to India
after complaints from their business customers. At the time, a Dell spokesperson said that the company's customers were telling them that they "didn't like the level of support they were getting" from its Indian call center."

AT&T decides to bring broadband call center back onshore"
"Other companies are rethinking their offshore call centers as well. In June,
Apple cancelled plans for a large call center in Bangalore, deciding instead to keep the operations in the US."
"Companies which value cost-control above all else may be inclined to keep their call centers in india.
But if customers complain about a lack of competency and poor support, some companies will likely reevaluate their strategies."
