Yes, once most americans are making third world wages things will all be evened out.
I think its pretty clear that mark's ideas of what is right and wrong is pretty skewed here.
Its also pretty clear that mark knows little about the history of US economics. For example, in the days before the personal income tax nearly all of the federal government's tax money came from tarrifs on international trade, tarrifs that were meant to protect american interests.
In addition to winning the race to the bottom I guess believing in a bunch of fairy tales about 'winning in the face of adversity cuz we'er americuns' will also save the day.
International trade is the new global warfare and while the rest of the world does its best to get the upper hand our own government is selling us down the river to our international competitors.
The dupes of 'free trade' are just cheerleaders for the idiocy that is US foriegn trade policy. When a nation like china is granted 'most favored nation' trading status right after mowing down thousands of citizens protesting for democracy it certainly shows you what side of worker rights and wages our leaders are on.
