It's America's duty to export jobs to the third world to make their lives better. [View all]

So what happens to the third world's dreams of prosperity when we run out of jobs to export? What happens if our currency collapses and we can't afford their imports?

Free traders scream incessantly about how we owe it to the third world to lower our standard of living to help them. So what happens to their economies, which depend on sucking us dry, when there's nothing left to suck from us?

An economy that is based on draining other nations dry to fuel one's dreams of prosperity is an economy that is doomed to fail.

The third world may lose Europe as a lifeline sooner than America, though, especially if the Euro collapses.
