re: As far as overpaid, if you are the only game in town, you can afford to overcharge and be overpaid. But that premium is disappearing as bigger and begger percentage of worlds population is competing on more equal footing.

I hate to sound like a "conservative" but who said the world is fair?

re: Of course not. But if not a zero sum game it's a competitive world for resounces and exports. I prefer that the US standard of living be higher than Slovakia... call me a bigoted patriot.
--------------------------------
Yeah, but we will have to fight for it and win it, since we are no longer the only game in town.


We were never the only game in town... we were just the best. That's what I was saying. You seem to glory in the failure of the US.

re: Next thing you will be wishing for a world government. Maybe the UN should take over?
-----------------------------------------
No, far from it. What makes you think that from the my post?


Well, we have to equalize the over-paid American dummys with the rest of the world's dummys. Right?

Are you a citizen? Where are your loyalties?

The premium is shrinking, but its from growth in developing nations, not the US economy, or individual total compensation decreasing.
