I said, "The title of this thread is about people like you who believe we should suffer a lower standard of living to provide the rest of the world a better one."
You say you have not said nearly any of what I claim you did. But I have shown documentation that you did say what I claim you said.
I previously responded to you in particular, several days before this thread came along:
What will the poor nations of the world do when America runs out of jobs to give them? What will they do when our economy, the vein they've been feeding off of, collapses?
Finally, I challenged you and others who feel like you to tell your "Maybe as a nation we should lower our standards" story to the people.
I will not let this conversation go anywhere until those questions are answered, because I asked them before you asked your questions, and I know you have no answer.
You can either answer them or abandon this discussion. But I will never, ever back down in my fight for America's working class. BY GOD.
