Ayn Rand economics is bullshit and is simply a race for cheap labor.
Voting is not robbery, neither are taxes.
Whats wrong with people oversees having jobs? Why are we entitled to jobs and they are not?
Who the fuck said they shouldn't have jobs? I said it should not be a race to the bottom for cheap labor. And why is it our job to provide their countries with livable wages? Globally speaking it is the world's responsibility to create economic stability, not compete to create more poverty.
We are the same species, so WE can chose which direction we go. We can let the wealthy suck the money up to fewer people at the expense of others, or they can use that wealth to improve the human condition.
Your black and white thinking is what your problem is. It is not a matter of hating wealth, or creating a nanny state. But it does matter how our economy works and if better standards is what the west have, our wealth has no right to destroy that.
Our wealth are a bunch of fucking crybabies, who WILL NOT end up on cat food if they do the right thing. That bullshit is just their excuse to put profits before humans.
