So the half of American workers with IQ's of 100 or below simply get their masters degrees from MIT and problem solved?

Precisely. A system where you have to be a genius just to survive, a system where it is not possible for an average guy to expect a steady job with good pay is a system that will have more losers than winners.

I value a system not according to how it works for the genius, but how it works for the average guy, the regular joe. And as you see, in free trade the American regular joe hasn't got a chance.

I remember that in Ancient Rome the average schmuck was jobless and broke.

The Emperor and other rich Romans gave the plebes free bread and free entertainment in the Arena to keep the plebes from rioting.

But they were still Roman citizens and were told that was a great thing.

Yes --- and what is best for American families. It isn't best for the families and their kids when the wage earners are out of the home for the entire day and evening just worried about survival. The alternative which is to count on the government support programs is even worse.
