"Money over morals for you eh bud? Sold your soul to the devil?"

Do you not think it's rather presumptuous to lecture me on morals when you're the one who thinks it's perfectly right and proper to lower the living standard of your neighbor in order to increase your own?

[StolarStorm]

For many, this isn't about increasing living standards. It's about survival. I'm more than willing to sacrifice a small bit of my living standard so that my neighbors can survive. But then, I actually give a damn about other people.

We're not talking about NAFTA/sweat-shop/sneaker factory jobs. We're talking MBA-level, hi-tech, etc. down to an ocean of Baby Boomer retirees who can't even get work at Home Depot to augment the social security checks that will be gone when the next generation tries to retire.

Once again -- capitalism is not a job program for some other nation.

Really, Would anyone in IT who loses their job be lowering your level of living? After they lose their job yes, but not before, would you be posting your jibberish here if it were not for american IT? Did you know Henry Ford overpaid his workers just so they could buy a Ford car? Do you think unemployed IT workers will buy a new Microsoft product?
