You are right. It reminds me of the poster:
When they came for the Jews, I said nothing because I wasn't one; when they came for the gypsies, I said nothing because I wasn't one; when they came for the homosexuals, I said nothing because I wasn't one; when they came for me, there was nobody left to say anything...
ALL of our jobs are threatened. They always are and always have been in a free market. That is the point. America has been shielded from this by several artificial constructs for some years. Those constructs are falling away, and people are scared and begging for government to come in and rig the markets, rather than allow us to compete (which we have done quite well, historically). The amazing thing about it is that on Free Republic, arguably the most conservative venue for opinion on the net, people are responding like a bunch of socialists. We have turned into an nation of crybabies. This always happen when nationalism trumps freedom. The safest way to continue to LOVE America is to threaten to leave it if it renounces freedom.
As I pointed out on another thread, this argument boils down to "people who think that labor should move freely (and legally) in its own market think that their own labor will not." It would require an astounding level of cognitive dissonance.
