No, I have the right to compete for a job in a fair competition. BTW, I have a job, just standing up for my fellow man, try it some time.

I stand up for my fellow man when I call protective tarriffs what they are "job subsidies". Subsidizing jobs is neither "fair" nor is it "competition".

While I do not agree with your points, having lurked on these threads a long time I know your heart is in the right place. You obviously want what is best for America as a whole and, even though I disagree with you on how to get that, the personal attacks on you that you endure are ridiculous. I certainly agree with you there are lots of CEOs who would sell us all into slavery for a nickle if they could.

You do not have a right to a job. I am in the same IT boat you are. But if an Indian can do a better job for less than he deserves it, period. If we are to regain these jobs the answer is to remove the costs imposed on my potential employers. Namely all the regulations which make my wages only half the cost of my employment. I can beat an Indian who only costs half as much as I do, but not when I cost 5 times as much as he does. Instead of begging big mommy to help us we should be telling her to get the H@LL out of the way.
