"So your concern stems from your own self interest rather than the greater good. "

Do you do everything for the "greater good"? With your often references to going to bars and vacations, I suspect strongly you are high maintenance when compared to global averages on income.

Sanctimonious twit.

So your concern stems from your own self interest rather than the greater good. Fine. As far as I'm concerned if the economic trends in aggregate are good for mankind, even if they are detremintel to American wages, I'll support them. If Americans want a better standard of living than the rest of the planet, they've gotta earn it.

What makes you think they haven't [earned it]........or did you think Disney World and all the rest were already built and Americans simply had to take advantage of this land's bounty?

I think you may have lived too long outside the US to have come to such a conclusion.
