>>dirt cheap foreign labor is extremely difficult to compete with, and I believe it is basically unfair to the American worker. We should not tolerate poverty wages in this or any other country in the name of "free trade". << Sorry but I disagree but I guess I think like a CEO <g> Is it fair that a smart kid pays for Medical school, studies hard and spends long nights in internship/residency just so he can pay off school debts and pay out the nose for malpractice insurance since the new way to get rich in this country is litigation for frivolous reasons when instead he can drop out of school, join a Union and get paid enough to buy a 30K truck, a 150K house for doing unskilled labor a monkey can do? ( Boy long sentence huh!) That is not fair, it is a crime. If I were the CEO of GM, I would move the whole factory out of the US until true skilled labor returned. Besides, that guy making 50 cents an hour lives pretty good off that since their wages are not blown out of proportion on everything so costs are much lower than here. When I was in the Phillipines, I could party like an animal from Friday afternoon till the wee hours on Sunday night for under 20 bucks and that included things every night that would cost you $200 in Vegas <g> BWDIK, Good Luck, Lee
