You seem to be backing off of: "The bottom line is that the poorest person on the globe is as entitled to be in the race as those you want to "protect"."

Where we differ is that you are thinking horizontally and I'm thinking vertically. I don't disagree that the laborers in Dubai should make more money... but the roadblock to that is the people who are paying them, not an overpaid US worker. Manual workers contribute to our GDP, they should share in the cash flow. Instead of giving the CEO of XOM a $400+ million retirement package, give him a $10 million retirement package and spread the other $390+ million around to the lower paid workers.

re: There is no way that Motorola can assemble cell phones in the US at $10 per hour and compete globally with Nokia if Nokia is assembling their cell phones in Vietnam and paying its Vietnamese workers $5 per day.

I wonder how the Japanese and Korean auto companies are opening plants in the US while the Ford's and GM's are moving manufacturing south of the border?
