Workers overseas are cheaper because their cost (and standard) of living is lower.

In other words, they gouge the American public much less than American workers.

American workers ARE the American public. Higher wages mean higher standard of living and bigger consumer market.

Economy is not a zero sum game - lower wages can lead to the contraction of economy and lower profits for the well off.

I don't believe I've seen another freeper who is more consistently anti-American in their posts than mc6809e. I want to thank this poster for his/her consistency and showing what many globalist/free traders think.
