What I don't quite see, however, is why the alternatives are supposed to be so much better. Say we changed things around and more Americans made more money, more Indians made less money, and all people everywhere had to pay somewhat more for their software. How is that really better? Because it's better for Americans? Yes. What if we sent the Marines into Bombay to rob a few banks and help close the budget deficit -- would that be better? No. It's an amusing sophistry, similar to the Bush administration, comparing hard working Americans creating value for Americans, to poor Indians being robbed by Marines. The guy's an idiot. The globalism choice is simply between who votes for gov't policy, and who doesn't. Currently, corporate votes (read "bribes") carry the day, so profits flow to the corporations and their minions, not working stiffs. If and when that changes, the benefits of American productivity will flow to the working population at large.
