To: Age of Reason

My xrays are read by a doctor in India, my insurance is processed in abroad, I could never afford dress leather shoes made in USA, my house is built with a ton of imported items including many power tools used by construction workers, my golf clubs are made in China.

I could go on but you get the point. My standard of living would take a nose dive if American unionized workers made all my stuff.

Since you have put yourself forward I may ask, who is paying you, and for what?

And when the standard of living rises enough in India and China, that the workers there are no longer content with living in huts and foraging for food but demand and get more pay—what will happen to your cheap imported stuff?

Who will vote to stop the government from the endless printing of money to pay its runaway budget when the people aren’t experiencing the pain of higher prices because of cheap imported stuff?

Then who will sell us stuff at any price when the dollar is all but worthless and foreign workers expect to be paid enough to live like Americans lived when America was prosperous?

And when the third world is fully industrialized and prosperous, they will no longer be living in huts and spearing fish, but will be COMPETING WITH US BY BIDDING UP THE COST FOR RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY. WHAT WILL THAT DO TO THE COST OF ANYTHING WHEREVER IT’S MADE???
