Years ago people in the government as a reaction to the US losing its
role in domestic manufacturing said we would hold our own due to
intellectual properties.Then the Internet came upon the scene and
intellectual properties could be done anywhere in the world.I worked in
a service sector where you had to touch the equipment to fix it.I warn
people starting out in life to pick a field that can't be outsourced.

Sage advise but given the refusal of the federal government to
enforce existing immigration controls it means little, other than
the job you don't have is physically located here or some where
else.

There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy
which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations;
even a democrat like myself must admit this.

But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy,
for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the "money touch,"
but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.
