The advent of the internet and eBay has made running a home based business a reality for countless Americans. Lets count 'em! True. But these same people are not punching a time clock, slaving over a machine, manufacturing an American made widget, and paying union dues.
As the democrats (and Willie Green) always say, "...they aren't 'real' jobs."
and when they run out of their own belongings to sell, I guess they can check out some garage sales and buy stuff that they try flip on EBAY for a higher price.
that's a hell of a model for a productive economy. who needs the semiconductor industry, when you can buy a lamp at a garage sale and flip it to some greater fool on EBAY for a profit.
