>> It's so much more complicated than your characterization today...competing with labor on a world wide basis invalidates much of your old fashion "free market" philoso_phistry.

Free markets are what has created the global economy we live in. It is cheaper to build iPhones in China and ship them to the US than it is to build them in the US.

It is cheaper to use computer kiosks in fast food places than to pay people $10 or $15/hour, plus payroll taxes, plus all the other costs that go along with it.

These are things that liberals cannot come to terms with. None of you do.

Ultimately, the Invisible Hand is going to take control. You can fight it and interfere with it. But you're not going to defeat it.
