i do however, think that we CAN compete with the lesser wages in India, if we simply learn to deal with it as they have. it's the lazy people who expect it all on their plate for less that make this world loss its value.

Mac, this tells me that you don't have a clue! Have you ever been to India and seen the way people just barely exist there?

You need to see how after the shops close, people litteraly like rows of corn, sleep on the sidewalks because of their poverty.

So in what jobs do you think we will be able to compete with areas of the world such at this? You are living in a dream world Mac.

a large amount of India's problem comes from too many people in too small a space. they live in poverty because the compition is too high and the supply is too low. also, it is mostly the men who get jobs over there, i think if i was getting 20k a year and my wife was getting 20k a year, id be right at the middle class mark, no?

people are complaining that thats what those in India will work for, simply because they dont want to be in the lower middle class. everyone wants to be upper middle or upper class.turh is, our lower middle class is heads and shoulders above many countries' class system entirely except for maybe the royalty.

yes, we need jobs here as bad as they do; however, we need to recall that we have fat "poor" people. noone else can claim that.
