Jobs you mentioned are hardly done my “Americans” even if they are in America.
Times change yes they do but natural laws do not, wealth requires production of something of value. Haircuts, house cleaning and yard work are not the stuff of a great wealth producing nation.What are you talking about? We produce plenty of wealth! Like the little pieces of paper that the Chinese give us money for so we can buy their stuff ;)
My mother’s wages at a salon paid for my college education and my brother’s college education. We went to the University of Akron, commuted, and were there at the same time for two years. No loans were taken out by my brother or me, and my parents did not take them out either. Before we were in college she was a stay at home mom. She cleaned the house and mowed the lawn.
Yep! Production and exporting and positive trade balance ARE wealth producers. Using brains to invent better products, raw material and productive labor to make, better things and then sell them to rest of the world. Put it all into the product, sell it and make profit. Government regulations, bureaucracy and taxing and stupid envirolawlessness only hamper American free spirit and kick companies to look outside for manufacturing. We are losing wealth creating production.
This can not be compared to production gains in agriculture that is still HERE.
Which brings the point, that we would be better off bringing cheap, legal laborers here into our factories, keep the production here and groom them to become consuming and paying citizens here, rather than being illegales and send our dollars outta home.
We can only go so long cutting each other's hair.
