So if companies go to China and there are no manufacturing jobs here, just how do the wages stay up for our low skilled workers. If they are going to stay high- you tell me how. Because I don't see it. 20 dollar and hour jobs with health care? How do we provide those when we have free trade with a country that has workers willing to work for 40 cents an hour. And if we can't compete- what exactly happens to our workers? Ok- maybe there are no jobs, rather than wages coming down to a cheaper hourly wage. If not, tell the thread why not. (and what I wrote is about enlightened self interest- not selflessness) Run Away? Yeah- I guess so. When I see people taking posts from here to mock somewhere else I do want to run away. It's so ugly, you see, and so hostile. I don't really like to see that. So if it turns you on that your behavior is so ugly and hostile that it makes people run away from you- you go with that.
