HOW DARE you want a job producing goods and services for your own country. Why should you be employed when there are poor people outside the country waiting desperately for a job?

You should hate yourself for wanting a job making iPads and answering phone calls from American citizens. That's racist. All you unemployed brown people in America, REJOICE in your poverty - you aren't poor enough. You should want to give up more of your standard of living to help the third world. What are you, a bunch of John Birch Society racists???

So what if your kids are going hungry, or you're homeless? Don't you realize that America's dumpsters are a land of plenty compared to the farms of China? So what if Americans find it harder to put food on the table than Chinese citizens... that means the system is working! Keep sacrificing, to make China a better place!

So what if China and India are growing markets and you are excluded from getting jobs to service those markets? You're a filthy isolationist American, you don't deserve jobs anywhere, much less to produce anything for other nations. You don't even deserve jobs to serve your own fellow citizens.

If you were a real citizen of the world you would not stop until every job in America is given over to a poor immigrant or a poor citizen in another country. Anything else would be racist, isolationist and nationalistic.

Sheesh. Wanting to feed your own family. Your world citizenship is hereby revoked.

1. Are Americans more deserving of jobs than non-Americans? nt

[Zalatix]

2. When those jobs serve the American market? Yes.

3. Why? What are your thoughts on this issue? nt

4. Well, let's see now.

When it comes to producing goods and services for the American market, corporations are hiring people outside the country to do the work.

Now that China and India are emerging markets, they're not hiring Americans to do anything for that market.

American workers are being categorically excluded from the benefits of this new "globalism" reality - those benefits being jobs.

The consequences of this is clear in the form of our $46 billion-per-month trade deficit, which, mind you, increases our debt and devalues our currency. And it also contributes HEAVILY to unemployment.
