To get this back on topic, I been doing some digging and have come to the conclusion that the problem is freedom of movement and the right to work. The western workers fear an influx of cheap eastern labor. And well they should. They will foot the bill in the long run.
It’s already happened here, the factory jobs went to other countries, and the illegals do the manual labor that is left. Every year sees a lessening of benefits for the true working class. I don’t know the answer, but there is no way the west can raise the rest of the world to our standard of living. So I guess the global economy will pull us down closer to theirs.
