I am not trying to bait you, Liz. I do see your position. I think it is invalid. You seem to think the "yuppies" have some innate claim to their former salaries when in fact they simply do not. Globalization did not happen under Bush and you ought not make such suggestions. It is as if you think Bill "NAFTA" Clinton had all of these protectionist mechanisms in place ensuring the salaries of your "yups" and that as soon as Bush took office, their jobs stormed out of the country, practically within months. That is just not true. The process of globalization has been underway for ages now. Look through your home, friend. Pick up something - ANYTHING. Now turn it upside down and tell us what you see. It has been like this long before Bush.

The yups may think they deserve the salaries they once pulled down. But what they think means absolutely Jack Z. Squat if the market disagrees with them. They may not enjoy having to compete against some Indian, but let us face the facts: they are not undergoing anything that manufacturing workers haven't been enduring for the last thirty years. What you are seeing here is the natural result of technology.

Now, it is up to your yups to step up to the challenge. They must provide a better product than the Indians, find other work or perish. And that is exactly the way it ought to be. No one owes them one darned thing. Don't you agree with this?
