I'll make you another offer: You remind those leftists who now are SCREAMING about globalization that their do-no-wrong hero Bill Clinton was one of THE prime movers in recent years in promoting it. And, in fairness, you may remind them that it is not the product of a single President or any President: It has been going on for decades and is the result of technological change. Cheap fast international telecommunications means work being done in expensive countries can be moved to cheap countries. And this also is the fulfillment of one of their oldest and dearest wishes: that "rich nation-poor nation" thing. Now the poor nations are in the running to become as wealthy as the rich nations. Without handouts in the form of foreign aid. Cold hard earned cash. Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.
