“The Free market is great until you talk about labor, then the games start. H-1b, illegals, off shoring etc. ANYTHING to hold wages down.”

Do you ever go to Wal-Mart to complain that their prices are too low?

It’s amazing that even here in Free Republic land so many see only one side of the equation - THEIRS. But why should I be surprised - it is a fact of life that people worry about their self-interest first and foremost - and that’s fine as far as it goes. But if you’re trying to objectively analyze a problem, then it pays to be intellectually honest.

Very true.

And that is the heart of Frederic Bastiat’s (and Henry Hazlitt’s) Great Lesson in economics.

Thats right, those Obozo voters voted their self interest instead of voting for a capable leader or for voting for their country.
