Sarcasm won't change the facts on the ground. Sooner or later, people are going to be very, very angry that their futures have been sold off. And we are talking about middle class people. They won't just sit still for the "globalization makes us all richer" arguments.

For some reason, the free traders think that in a representative republic, people whose careers have been lost to offshoring will gladly vote for more of the same out of some Randian religious conviction.
