Not all change is good. Like socialism.
Be careful what you wish for.
It could come back to bite you in the behind.

Libertarianism was Standard Operating Procedure during the Industrial revolution (Scrooge was a Libertarian), as it was in America's Wild Wild West, and is today, in the labor markets of Asia. Socialism was the new idea proposed to counter the laissez-faire of industrialists. The farthest Left of out candidates, such as Obama, would be on the Right in Europe. Even his plans for Universal Health Care are contructed to not threaten the insurance companies. It's not the immigrants that are bringing this country down (count how many of the smaill businesses you patronize are owned by immigrants), but our our own lazy and dumb non-competitive citizens, who expected their employers to coddle them to the grave.
The author states the problem (greed) correctly but makes a mistake in blaming liberal education.

US companies are investing in the emerging growth markets in Asia (they cannot afford not to). They will build AND sell there. Even the required technical and engineering skills can be had there for cheap. Only the profits will come home to Bush's "ownership sociey", those rich or smart enough to invest. Yes, those nasty corporations are us! What's good for General Motors is good for the USA! When the up and coming Chinese are driving Chevies (GMC = General Motors China) and pumping Exxon/Iran oil, all will be well for us. Jobs that must be done locally, like Agriculture and Construction, are already heavily invested in by Mexican labor. If all you have to offer is your labor, you have been devalued, unless you can invent or design products for the new growth markets. It's a natural progression for a wealthy people... let those that are hungry study math and science and work hard. We will be the gentlemen rulers of the earth.
