Hard to pay those higher wages when other countries pay 1/4 that much, if that much, to workers and sell their cheap crap here. An unrestricted global market if all start at the same place, too bad we started light years ahead in living standards and technology and have to go backwards to let everyone catch up.

Stupid reality messes lots of things up.

I realized that this was exactly what would happen when we
did NAFTA. It was meant to bring all living standards to
the same level around the world. The world only needs a
few brain surgeons but lots of lesser skilled workers.
Why should a guy with the same skills here live better
than the same guy in India? That’s the way the globalists
see things and they have been in control for a while.

Things are all going according to the plan.

The fine print in our so-called 'Free Trade' agreements is that harmonization of living standards means that all those who work for a living will drop down to third world squalor. Our wealth will be redistributed to global corporate and finance.
