Doing work that is disconnected from your own heart

A friend passed along this patent application for an outsourcing assessment methodology from Bank of America. From the patent text:

A typical American employee demands a high salary, good benefits, a good work environment, vacation time, and other job-related perks such as reimbursement for higher education. These job-related perks are expensive and may not be cost-effective for the business entity. A business entity is forced to commit significant resources to employ an American work force and may often find that the demands of American employees far exceed the allotted budget.

B of A's methodology will allow companies to select countries where workers will work for a low salary, without benefits, in a poor work environment, without vacation or training. It is worth noting that all the inventors on this patent are American.

I am finding this quite puzzling, and also sad.
