corrrect. Outsourcing is natural, obvious, and common-sense to anyone
running a business in a capitalist system.

Here is the big difference betwen micro and macro economics.
At microeconomic level (a business) yes. It does make a whole lot of sense
to do just like that.

However, at macroeconomic level the situation is different.
If too many businesses are actually doing it, the consumer income
decrease.

Hi,

You are not being "macro" enough. Because of his better paying job, that guy
in India or China now has also become a consumer.
Overall "consumer income" has increased because of the higher combined
productivity of both the American who gets more done with his time, and the
Indian who is contributing to the Global economy rather than subsistance
farming or whatever he was doing before being hired by schlepprock.
......

Once this point is reached, the economy would be in big big trouble and
everybody is going to get hurt. Including the businesses which take the
advantage of outsourcing to increase their profits today.

If that were the case it would have happened decades (eons?) ago when people
first started "outsourcing" their work to others.
