And before anyone misunderstands me, -NO- I don't want the poor Indean
national to have to work 80 hours a week for 1/4 the pay eaither. And -YES- I
would like him to be as gainfully employed as me.
It's not about US verses Them. It is about keeping US jobs in the US and
about rewarding loyal citizens for that citizenship and productivity which
has made us greate. If you want one world governemnt then fine, but that
should mean that they (that all) should get all the protections we in the us
are having taken away from us daily. Until there is a world government
Corporations who got where they are through the work of the US citizen should
not then be allowed to take those Jobs elsewhere. They recieve tax breakes
specificaly becouse they are expected to use those tax breaks to create more
jobs here in the US. If instead they create those jobs in other countries,
then they are steeling from the US taxpayer.
