Actual tax collection won't increase, but surveillance to squash economic freedom will become tighter. Then President Oprah is going to implement wage and price controls because it feels right. This is mere delusional wishing enforced at gunpoint. It didn't work when Nixon tried it, either. The remaining middle class will scatter to evade those policies. You thought radar detectors and CB radios to evade the 55 MPH speed limit was a scofflaw culture? You haven't seen anything yet. The point of Bitcoin is to end tax collection, and therefore, government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-34625889527208437382018-01-13T17:54:24.913-05:002018-01-13T17:54:24.913-05:00GREAT POST!!!

They were hard workers and would eagerly work 80 plus hour weeks for a few dollars less than their American counterparts. And of course that is what it was all about, not skill sets or lack of American workers. <br />I have a good friend who worked for Apple and a few years back they let him go in favor of foreign workers.

For instance, it shows that not many executives have trouble finding candidates with skills in applied math and research – but it is also true that few high tech companies actually have much of a need for either. Also, the ratio between "moderate" and "high" difficulty level responses appears to be close to a normal distribution.<br /><br />I am agreed that we should be using our own people, but if a company is looking for young people it is also true that American education absolutely sucks.Malatropenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-55401306570482263212018-01-13T10:06:03.265-05:002018-01-13T10:06:03.265-05:00Nation...natal...Patriarchy...Pater...

It takes an iron curtain to prevent the workers from moving to the jobs. If you do erect an iron curtain, then successfully avoiding competition for a time means you lose the competition of the next war, because your industries and workers are uncompetitive. Military strength comes from economic strength. If you implement socialism for engineering wages, you make America easier to attack in war.<br /><br />The way we learn what wages a certain job requires to motivate humans to do it, is by statistically summarizing the wages being paid. Claiming there is a "standard" of wages for a job which is higher than what actually is being paid, is mere wishing.<br /><br />Jobs belong to the employer, not the employee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-36170186946756842352018-01-13T02:07:39.839-05:002018-01-13T02:07:39.839-05:00New Zealand is a very liberal country.

The place is making strides to get out of the South Island sheep raising mentality and to join the 21st. <br /><br />I think that the US will step up it's hard science education and once we have stemmed the flow of illegal aliens, the trades will fall back to journeymen Americans rather than semi-skilled illegal aliens who take a lot of those jobs for sub-par wages.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
