Ah, the joys of free trade. You know, maybe Dukakis was right. Maybe we are turning into a nation of hamburger flippers.

Some people aren't even qualified to do this, it requires some computer skills.

The free trade wouldn't be so bad if the burden of government wasn't so great. You hear everyone carping about how its cheap labor carting off the jobs and thats a load. Labor frequently is between 1-5% of the cost of products whose manufacture has moved out of country. The cost of government OTOH is at least in the 20-40% range on an average big ticket item...
