Yes, especially the parts you don't.

The part that says why you shouldn't starve if you can't compete.
So you are FULL aware of the payrates and the conditions in China then as you have openly admited..and bragging you know more than I as well... yet you still blamed America for not being able to keep up with wage you fully were aware was equal to slave wages?
What are you? Some kind of tyrannical ass hole or something?
Let me guess...Libertarian.

Later, we can erect temples to our idiocy with them. Is it so absurd to demand that workers everywhere have a greater share in the profits of the business that would not exist without them? Again, the world didn't suddenly become poor, the money simply changed hands.
Who said we have to compete with the Chinese baubble for baubble? It's precisely not the baubbles but things which we really could add more value in proportion to our greater salary that we should concentrate. Let the Chinese make baubbles, we should find something we make 5 times better than they do if our worker cost 4 times as much. This is exactly why we should outsource.
If we don't outsource, all we are doing is to subsidize American labors for getting paid more, while producing less. Cooperation might seem like a cushy, foresight obscuring way out, but in the long run, no economy can long prosper by costing more to produce less. And to sustain the ability to produce more for unit cost, this efficiency has to penetrate pretty thoroughly throughout the economy, down to the minimum wage earners.
Well, I am glad to see that you are so excited about this. I am sure you will be standing in line for the first job that offers only $.89 pay for a 12 hour day of hard labor. Surely you will insist that the company not give you benefits or medical ins as well, since you are so gung ho about this.
