So, JohnGalt, do you have a problem with that?

$60K salaries should be mandated by the government. Didn't you get the memo? Taxes and tariffs are good.

Rather agnostic on the subject, but I am amazed that such a wealthy element of the middle class can accomplish such a labor market protection but those at the bottom of the labor market can't catch a break on closed borders.
I think the other poster nailed it: American educated employees pay more in taxes, but I think the end result is simply more LB-1 visas and production moved over seas. Labor price protection is a losing battle with modern technology, and deregulation is a better long term strategy, but I hope if nothing else, 60K programmers will stop snickering at Pat Buchanan economic nationalism arguments.
