There is a fundamental distinction between replacing jobs via technological advancement and displacing jobs via the formation of a cheap labor class.

By "cheap labor class" I take it you mean people in other countrie who are willing to work for less than you?

God created those people, not evil companies wanting to take away YOUR job.

Get over it.

Umm.. You seem to have a real problem disengaging yourself from the exercise of value judgments..

By "cheap labor class" I mean "cheap labor class" - without regard to the location of the "cheap labor class"... More exactly, what I am stating is that there's a fundamental difference between replacing obsolescent jobs with more advanced jobs and the exportation of existing, irreplacable jobs to other nations with lower compensation. In the latter case, it is merely an end-run around the various institutions which exist in order to elevate the incomes in this nation. The ultimate end-result is a degradation of the earning and purchasing power of the American citizenry.

If this escapes your comprehension, then you'll simply have to get over it. It's certainly not my fault if you're dimwitted; just accept it and move on.
