You gotta read the graph. Real wages are already adjusted for inflation. Try again?
Just how much higher do you think they might be, if we had more of a manufacturing base?
Well, seeing as higher wages are happening while we have fewer manufacturing workers, I'd have to say wages could be lower if we had more of a manufacturing base. You have any proof my assumption might be wrong?
I read through the huge list of participants, and I felt doom and gloom. How can such powerful people be defeated?
There is no such thing as a "brotherhood of man" except in the utopian daydreams of left-wing liberals and those they've been able to indoctrinate:
[Theological] Liberalism By: M. James Sawyer , Th.M., Ph.D.

Adolf von Harnack Harnack represents the apex of Liberal theology. He was the greatest historian of Christianity of the generation and his work has set a standard for scholarship for the succeeding century. His History of Dogma has been the definitive work on the subject since its publication. Harnack operated totally within the framework of Liberalism.....Specifically, the Gospel was seen as having nothing to do with the Person of the Son. It dealt with the Father only. In this understanding, Jesus' preaching demanded "no other belief in his person and no other attachments to it than is contained in the keeping of his commandments." Any doctrine of the Person of Christ was totally foreign to His ideas. Such doctrine lay not in the teachings of Christ Himself, but in the modifications introduced by His followers, especially Paul.
Harnack held that it was through the work of Paul that the man Jesus Christ was first seen to have more than human stature. It was he who was seen to have introduced modifications to Christianity by which the simple gospel of Jesus was ultimately replaced by adherence to doctrines relating to the Person of Christ. Moreover, Paul was seen as having been the one who first invested the death and resurrection of Christ with redemptive significance.
If redemption is to be traced to Christ's person and work, everything would seem to depend on a right understanding of this person together with what he accomplished. The formation of a correct theory of and about Christ threatens to assume the position of chief importance, and to pervert the majesty and simplicity of the Gospel.
In his brief but important work, What is Christianity?, Harnack distilled the essence of Christianity as, The Fatherhood of God, The Brotherhood of Man and the infinite value of the human soul. The kingdom he contended was an internal affair of the heart. .....

Conclusion:
J. Gresham Machen denied that Liberalism was Christianity. Whereas Christianity was rooted in supernaturalism, Liberalism was rooted in naturalism. Liberalism as a religious system, was "the chief modern rival of Christianity" which was at every point opposed to historic Christianity. ...."

Reagan was wrong on that "theological" point. Sorry to disappoint you.
Not disappointed at all.... As the point of my original post was about not about 'the brotherhood of man' but rather about Reagan's desire to see open boundries among nations... Thanks anyway.
What's missing is the connenction with CFR.
Hey, Mal, is that you?
