In 1870, 70% of the US population were farmers. In 2008, only 2%. Should we have ‘protected’ those farming jobs?

Those ex-farmers spent the first half of the 20th. Century flocking into cities to take industrial jobs. Where do you propose that they go next?

Its obvious where they can go; they can do "services". I.e. be nannies, toe-nail-clipper, massage therapist, foot washer, toe-jam-cleaner, doorman, chauffeur, cook for the people who own the companies that are benefiting from selling them out to foreigners. Assuming those jobs aren't done by illegal immigrants.

Do you believe that the pace of productivity or technology advances that displace workers should be limited to ensure that every one has a job?
