Hahahaha! You are running out of people who actually believe that crap. One of the reasons jobs are moving to China is because Communism kept the entire country impoverished to such a level that there is a huge difference in living standards between the formerly Communist countries and those that are more capitalist. I say more capitalist because the US is moving more towards socialism every single day. Communism, Socialism and Marxism makes everyone poorer with the idea it's more "fair"...except the party insiders always skim off the top of the pile which gets smaller and smaller.

I'm not a CEO or CFO. I was born extremely poor and now I'm rich. Not only that, most of my friends and clients come from similar situations with similar outcomes. I'm living proof that workers can own the means of production. I started my own company with a hundred dollar enlarger in a borrowed basement.

Back when Russia first opened up, a friend of mine had occasion to work with some Russians here in this country. (he restores icons-so they came over with the icons). He remembers ordering some deli sandwiches for lunch and at one point the Russian burst into tears over his roast beef sandwich (which was your typical fat deli sandwich you can get in almost any deli in America) as he remembered the deprivation he'd been subjected to for years and years, waiting on lines for everything and anything, slowly starving. Just being confronted with the bounty that exists almost everywhere in this country was a contrast that he had a hard time fathoming.
