Global Competitiveness And Free Market Wage

Global competitiveness means that most Americans will have to live on less than $50 a day. Wage parity is the only way based on what the GOP is actually proposing. Employers here just cannot afford American workers. 1/3 of the world lives on $1.

And they have no economy, and zero consumers as a result.

If everyone is getting slave wages, who will buy the goods the slaves make?

Mostly Americans can't afford to prop up the parasite class any longer.

While the average worker might make 20 times his foreign counterpart, the average executive pulls down thousands of times what his foreign counterpart earns.

Let's not even talk about the bloated financial sector or the unaffordable medical, legal and service sectors.

The bottom line is, if you are merely exploiting systemic inefficiencies rather than creating or producing something of value to the community, you're going to be culled. The rest of us can't support your lifestyle on $50 a day.
