Hmmm ... so if an employer chooses to have pay someone $20 per hour instead of $80 an hour for some high tech work, that's evil GREED, huh?

We should all just "get along" and share and share alike, huh? We should make our companies uncompetitive in the global market by only employing the highest paid workers, right (ask GM how well that's working)?

Are we having a little difficulty understanding how capitalism works?

I would not call it GREED. I'd call it the divinely endowed right to pursuit of happiness.

Your rationale taken to its extreme would approve the re-institution of slavery (which illegal immigration employment comes close to). That is the ideal free-market, global competitiveness scenario. In fact, it is just about what is being practiced in China. That’s why you can’t buy anything now that does not say “Made in China”. Maybe you should move there and live in a world of economic purity.

Here’s a revelation for you, and the other Libertarians, and the Treasury Secretary and George Bush - the “Free Market” doesn’t exist. All those countries we are competing with do not practice free markets or allow America into their markets. Lots of corporations are making lots of money by abandoning the nation that provides them security and stability and exploiting “globalism”.

It is a scheme with only a disastrous ending.
