That’s the thing about the “free market” as idealized by Milton Friedman: it doesn’t respect national boundaries or borders.

But, of course, whether we want to believe in the market or not, the effects are there...and unfortunately, most Americans want to put their heads in the sand and pretend that they have some God-given right to be prosperous and get paid more than others.

Problem is, you can't charge $100 for a widget when there's someone next door selling for less, and you can't sell an hour of your time when there's someone with equal qualifications willing to take less in salary (and benefits, including OSHA, etc.)

It seems that America has fallen off the path we must return to the Founder's vision of true limited Constitutional Government, the problem with that is the globalists. They clearly want to destroy the “Republic” for personal wealth and gain there ultimate goal in all of this is world Government if not stopped more Fannie and Freddies are around the corners it will get to a point to where all that the Founding Fathers worked and sacrificed for will be gone as fast it as came. Men like Ron Paul understands this he speaks with the integrity, and the same frankness as the Founders themselves but sadly most Conservatives refuse to listen they would rather name call and bury there heads in the sand or push the blame onto someone els rather than to bring accountability onto the government as a whole for what happen which is a very sad thing indeed until we in the Conservative movement start listening to one another working towards the same goals all will be lost and its going to be a rather long and hard road to haul.

well, people in prosperous nations aren’t just going to accept having their wages debased just to adhere to market “freedom”. They’re not going to accept the argument that their wages should be competing with wages in Honduras just because “the market” says so.

They’ll choose socialism instead—or at least Keynesianism.

Exactly, and why tariffs should have been imposed a long time ago along with additional taxes for megacorporations that got the benefit of slave labor at the expense of American jobs.
