Your insistence that US wages fall the third world country levels means that the US eventually falls to third world status. Complete with income distributions and generally autocratic rule of some type. I've never said the above. I've said third world wages cause downward pressure on US wages, with especially strong downward pressure in areas such as basic labor. That's not even a controversial statement, any economist/multi-national employer/laborer is going to tell you the same thing. Others have said that I think US workers should get paid the same as their foreign competitors, but I've never said it. What's with you people? As for "income distribution and autocratic rule", I don't even know what you are talking about. Nothing from something I've posted, that's for sure. That doesn't affect you because you would be flitting around the world doing what you do. Sitting in a bar somewhere saying "damn shame about the US. It used to be a nice country...". I wouldn't say that because I think the US is a nice country today, as do most of the 3rd world workers that I encounter. Nearly 100% of them would move to the US in a heartbeat if they could get a visa.
