This is about middle America's pocket book now and the threat of losing a job to offshoring...when that sucking sound was made by blue collar types every body said we need to become competitive and that the end result would make America stronger. White collar types should stop whinning and appreciate how this process is making America competitive in the world economy.

The white-collar types are the ones that start small businesses and employ blue-collar types. The blue-collar folks were told to improve their skills and move into the white-collar class long ago. Now those former blue-collar types are finding themselves in the same situation with their new white-collar brethren.

It it is in the common interest of both white and blue collar America to address this problem.
