Why shouldn't that be the business of the employers? They are Americans, too. Why should the poor be able to force the employers to only hire their incompetent, obsolete asses (comparatively speaking, of course) when better choices are available?

Of course, this is from a middle class perspective, so I actually have to worry about these jobs and where they are and how much they pay. If this "Free Trade" goes on, the middle class will be eliminated, and there will be two types of people: The 1-3% of the rich, who hold 90-99% of the wealth, and the 97-99% of the people, who make 1-10% of the nation's money, and whose husbands and brothers join the army and die in order to provide for their families, which is not a position that sounds particularly pleasing to me.

So stop being lazy and incompetent.
