Charity begins at home, my objection is the millions of Americans workers being displaced by 15 cent an hour foced labor. I addionally resent the thouands of small US retailers being forced into bankruptcy by vainly trying to compete with the low wage/low cost Chicom distribution centers setup here in the USA. Lastly I have nothing but comtempt for any America that supports or defends such a system.

Do you really think any American labor that can be replaced by $.15 per hour labor is going to last long here anyway. If it is not China getting those jobs they will just go to some other low cost supplier. This process has been going on for hundreds of years.

With the current unemployment rate lower than the averages of the past three decades I'd say that those millions of workers you mourn for have found one of the 9 million professional services jobs created here since 1994. Which do you think pays more: Unskilled assembly work or professional services?

Tens of millions of middle class Americans would disagree with you regarding the success of Wal Mart. The fact that they are saving money has driven the lower interest rates and mortgage rates we have today and keeps more money in their pockets. This in turn is responsible for home ownership being at an all time high and the fact that almost 60% of Americans are invested in the stock market.

Finally, I am pleased to earn your contempt. I would expect nothing less from people who have no idea of what has made the world, and America in particular, a far better place to live in than it was 200 years ago.

Millions, huh? What was that you stated earlier about "talking points?"
