Why would someone want to be a software engineer anyway? Just have a few kids, work at Wal-Mart or a restaurant, and get on ‘Food Stamps’..... The new American Dream.

(thanks globalists)

What the Globalists didn't tell you is that 'Globalism' and 'Free Trade' are just another variant on Marxism - crony capitalism/corporatism/fascism in which you have the illusion of freedom and private ownership. National borders and the middle class are just an impediment to free movement of goods and natural persons.

We are moving back to the middles ages with an upper elite class and neo-serfs (who are called citizens of the world). For a long time the middle class life style was able to be maintained using debt (remember 'debt is good') and cheap good made by disposable workers in third world countries working without even minimal safety or environmental regulations.

The elite of bother major parties who set policy and dole out campaign money have long been bought and paid for by global corporations and finance. Now it's all hitting the fan.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency...the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered..."

"We must crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to bid defiance to the laws of our country."

Speaking of “crony capitalism,” do you have another definition for the process whereby corporations lobby their government for permission to raise their prices to you?

Implicit in you post is the assumption that there is no change and that the people of the world are constrained to maintaining an American middle class. The nature of change is that persistence is not viable.

The centers of world population, China and India are in the process of shucking off the oppression that has held them down. To remain a player of significance in the rapidly changing game, America must embrace the change and adapt to the new world that is emerging to know one knows where.

Obama is not capable of registering a thought beyond the ancient policies of FDR and LBJ.

Corporations without money are rather pointless aren’t they?

How does one crush moneyed corporations at their birth? If the USA doesn’t allow corporations and they are all now based outside the USA, will they be allowed to provide goods and services in the USA?

We are all supposed to go back to be farmers and herdsmen? I think Stalin tried this, communist China. Pol Pot was rather successful as long as you don’t count how many people died.
