I do have a question regarding Romney. He is suppose to be a real hotshot in business.

Since this is rapidly becoming a global economy, if not already; how will the American workforce fit into it. We are rapidly losing jobs here due to lower and cheaper wages overseas. We are losing jobs even in America with the influx of immigrants; illegal or otherwise. Will the American worker have to take lower wages to compete.

Also, will this global economy only benefit the rich. Will small companies here be able to benefit and compete.

We are at full employment in the US; far beyond the average of the 90's and 80's. Stats are our friend.

When the US is no longer price competitive in a given industry, the jobs follow the money and most people switch careers. Some sit home and whine and demand free money. Those people are called democrats. Get rid of Unions and frivolous lawsuits,(institute loser pays rules), and those jobs will return to some extent.

You should listen to a Romney speech. He will fight to keep jobs here.
