And you think cause you're in some shitty union, you should be making $45.00 an-hour as a bolt tightener, or $22.00 as a grocery sacker? No wonder you layabouts are all out of work,; you killed the goose that laid the golden egg with your outrageous and unrealistic demands. No sale, pal, don't like what a factory pays you, then you should have studied and gotten past the ninth grade.....

@FrankeeFraud An economy where no one is paid enough to buy ipads, cars, health care, or a college education is exactly where we find ourselves, friend. That's the goose you pretentious haters of non-desk jobs murdered. Besides, what makes your eight hours of, let's see, consulting?, any more valuable than my eight hours of maintaining ambulances? Educational supremacy? Really? That qualifies you to be a 'wage judge?' You'd better do more independent studying and less talking-point parroting.

Where was it made? Who cares? This is propaganda, to keep overpaid union lardasses in the US with undeserved paydays.

@FrankeeFraud When ignorant minions of right-wing dogma are exposed to the realities of the world they are so sure they know better than everyone else, they squirm and cry "propaganda!" Just shut up and learn something, stooge. You "deserve" it.

Okay, I'll comment.

This is sobering because the prime argument advanced by advocates of globalization is that it will create jobs for poor people in Third-World countries. But it appears that globalization actually hurts everyone. Ricardo showed that it was cheaper for England to import wine from Portugal, and it was cheaper for Portugal to import wool from England instead of making its own. When countries support their own economies, everyone wins.

Why am I the only to comment?
