I skimmed it, and thought it was mostly a sea of bovine fecal debris, with a few scattered islands of truth.

This, for instance: It is self-evident that capital cannot exist without labor. It's not self-evident to me that a skyscraper, and MRI machine, or a space shuttle can be built by drooling idiot "labor".

OTOH, China's industrial might is certainly going to overwhelm America's. Under the present rules, America just can't compete with people making 25 cents per hour or less. Example: I have in front of me a Harbor Freight catalog. On page 3, they offer a One Million Candlepower Cordless Rechargable Spotlight with battery charger and 12V adapter for $8.99! Just he ni-cad batteries alone would be worth over $50, were they made in America.

This situation is unsustainable.
