What would be best for the global marketplace is for wages in the wages in the second and third tier economic countrys to rise. For some odd reason the conservatives all think that it is investment that drives growth. That is not so, it is purchasing power. Increased wages will drive economic forces for the betterment of everyone. The only way we have seen that happen is unions. All you cons need to read this again. I am arguing for increased wages in 2nd and 3rd world economys. Unions helped our workers out of sweatshops in the past and help build a middle class. Unions need to do the same now in 2nd and 3rd world countrys. Your thinking is a little mushy. You might just as well propose tariffs and start a real trade war. |

Hardly. If unions can bring up the wages and purchasing power of 2nd and 3rd world workers we should all be for it. That purchasing power is the tide that raises all the boats.
That we should have third world wages so that we can compete is foolishness. Who would buy the products if 90% of the country can not make enough to buy them? Just the rich? What is the matter with conservatives? Have they been kissing rich butt so long they have forgotten that this country was founded on egalitarian principles?
