<<### This is an old defense - "I really like my butler, he's black, but a
good man, nevertheless. But you couldn't let blacks work on their own,
listen to those scumbag abolitionists and set their own prices. They need
supervision, visas, regulations so they won't compete with me, so I can keep
my cushy job. Except for my butler, let them clean sewers".>>
This doesn't seem to be my defense. Mine is that the greediest (not
necessarilly the very richest) segment of the economy are sending jobs overseas. This
will shrink the US middle class, and destablize the American economy. There are
those who, seemingly, are unconcerned or even jubilant about this
development. I am not.

<<More quotes from a protectionist:
"And those bosses, they are worthless scum, every single one of them. In
fact, you can't become a manager unless you are a stupid, incompetent
suck-up."
"And I didn't want to buy this imported car, really, but it was so cheap I
couldn't resist. Tell those loser GM bosses to get their act together, or
else I won't buy any of their cars. I have choice, you know."
"And tell them suck-up bosses who don't want to hire me, better think it
over, or else I'll come over with some buddies, and you won't have no choice
nomore."
"Yep.">>
Well, the Fortune 500 send their buddies, lobbyists to DC to get their way
with this economy. Now its back-firing and according to an article in the Wall
Street Journal,
this will cost W the election.
