According to the author, you just priced yourself out of the market. So look for a mud hut somewhere and maybe he'll give you a thumb's up.
What the author doesn't address is that the standard of living for the US has to go down, as the rest of the world isn't going to come up to ours anytime soon. Is that a good thing? Perhaps if you're the CEO of a company (you'll have cheaper labor) or currently depend on welfare (everyone else is going to get poorer). That's not a country I want to live in.

Good point, lelio, but I don't think you undstand that the author is counting on his own standard of living being the same or better. In that case, why should he care about you care anyone else?

No, it's not just that he's priced himself out of the market. The government stacks additional costs on to businesses to keep the job in the US, something other countries aren't doing.
