What, American workers should lower themselves to begging for 2.50/hr? Will my tax demands decrease to that level? Will my grocery bill? How about electricity? Gas?

I shouldn't ask for benefits? Insurance? My government sure as he!! isn't going to provide it to me......... I'm paying for my benefits, right along with my employer......They pay some, I pay some. That's the only way most of us are gunna get insurance and the like.....

Actually you benefit from globalization. Every time you go to Walmart and buy cheap sh*t (that probably won't last very long) you are taking advantage of globalization. You can buy your t-shirt at walmart for $x.00 because of globalization. SO as a consumer you benefit. Technology and such has made the world much smaller. You can keep your isolationist attitude if you want but the economy is global. The downside is that right now some of the trade rules are unfair but that's always been a problem. Your grocery bill is probably less and most of the things you buy are less because of globalization. You pay less for electronics, shoes, etc because of globalization. When there is competition the consumer wins. If we shut the door to say....FOREIGN owned automakers and GM had no competition from Japan then they would make crappier cars than they already do.
