re: Someone tell me again how bad the American worker has it due to immigrant labor pushing down wages.

We've got a shrinking middle class. Lot's of folks are one medical problem away from bankruptcy. You think that's OK 'cause it's not as bad as Dubai. I think the US should be more egalitarian than Dubai.

Do you think that US rich people should have it as bad as in other countries with higher taxes on the rich? Or do you just want to stick it to US labor?

According to an official from the Philippines Consulate in Dubai, Manila is studying a proposal to increase housemaids' salaries from $200 to $400.

How much is housing, mass transit, food etc in Dubai vs the US? Is the cost of living cheaper in Dubai than the US? I suspect so.
