It is not possible for the Global Economy and the United States to both succeed. One or both have to fail. It is not possible to chase the low-wage labor and sustain a middle class in the U.S. When, not if, this fails, we will no longer have a market for goods and services because we will be earning the same as the "efficient" labor pools, namely $1 an hour. How many new Chryslers can you buy on $1 an hour? That is the fly in the ointment. Or the end of America, however you would like to say it.

If you say so, I suppose.

Proof positive that Zero-Sumists exist not only on the left, but on the Right.

So you are one of the those people who say the pie is only so big... That if someone else gets some that means you get less...

That simply isn't true.

We make more pie. And have been doing so for quite some time.
