Backing off of our racism accusation, I see. Good for you.

Yeah, I guess the unions had absolutely nothing to do with driving wage costs so high that manufacturers look around for a guy who can turn a screw for less.

The stock anti-union tirade. But I bet you like weekends and the fact that 6 year olds don't work 40 hour weeks so dad can pay interest to the company store. But that's a whole seperate argument for you to lose.

You are arguing that since companies made agreements to unions and you personally think those agreements are unfair, they should be able to pay slave wages to third world workers? That's a bit of a stretch even for the logically challenged.

And the cheap goods at Wal-Mart benefit everybody, including American workers.

That's good news, because that's only store a lot of us are going to be able to afford to buy things at. You ivory tower globalists keep forgetting that you need a population that can actually afford to buy the junk that you move to Mexico to make. And once our credit cards are maxed, you're going to see things slowing down a tad.

Your final sentence is so silly as to not even deserve a reply.

My goodness, after a biting rebuke like that, I don't know how I'll ever be able to look at myself in the mirror again.

So, you're a union supporter. I should have known.

You object to any jobs moving to Mexico, but seem to think manufacturers should continue to cater to an archaic labor structure which has brought the manufacturing sector to its knees. Do you know how business works?

I've enjoyed the dialogue, but neither one of us is going to change any minds, and I fear we're going to just keep going around the same tree.

Have a good weekend.
