In the Global Free Marketâ„¢, you have workers in China and India making pennies on the dollar doing industrial work and manual labor, manufacturing the products you see in Wal Mart.

In a true global free market, people are paid what they are worth. If Americans want manufacturing, call center, and all of those other jobs that have been outsourced over the past 30 years, American's must be willing to accept the global market rate wage for their particular profession.

No traffis, no import duties, no extra taxes for corporations. In a global economy, you will be paid global wages, period.

What do you guys think?

Ok, but you're gonna have to build a couple of these on the edges of your town, because that's the only place a .75 an hour job holder could ever live in this country:

No, not the GLOBAL market rate, the US market rate. The global anything that is being pushed these days is nonsense. It is a scam to transfer our wealth to poor countries. That's all it is.

But, after 6 months they should be reviewed for a raise to 85¢ per hour.
Unions should be abolished because they are commies.

So? If that's what the free market allows them to afford, then so be it.

No, you're wrong. In today's economic, the global market rate is all that matters, which is why so much of our manufacturing has moved to china. You have to compete with their wages if you want the jobs back.

You are honestly saying "hell yes, let's build slums!" ???

I've lived in a slum before (El Alto Bolivia). People risk life and limb to come here just get away from places like that...and you want them here?!

Why is the phrase "Global Free Market" trademarked in this thread?

I know, Thanks LIBERALS and PROGRESSIVES for that! Tariffs are the answer, but the bozos in charge won't do it.
