The Political Economy of Envy

Wasn't too long ago that Americans worked so much smarter than the rest of the world. At the high end we still do. At the low end we're screwed. The poor in America are poor mostly because they can not work smarter than the world's poor (and middle class). THis is not going to improve without drastic changes in education, which will not likely occur. Thank you NEA and the pols they fund.

Great post. Everytime I see a Union worker on TV crying about how their job went to mexico I want to smack them and tell them to get a real job. Americans shouldn't be crying about the loss of low wage jobs, just the opposite.

Also, everyone is complaining about the rising cost of healthcare, why not study to become a doctor/nurse/pharmacist/medical manager!?!?!? Increase the supply of doctors in the country and watch the salaries and cost of insurance plummet.
