It just seems so simple to me when you look at the population of China and India, which make up 40% of the worlds population, in comparison to the United States 8% that we (the USA) have to start to think in a rational way of how we can keep wealth here so we can continue to have a middle-class. Has anyone else thought about that? It is overwhelming in so many ways. Obviously manufacturing is one big element but that is only part of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population

Population by region

Asia accounts for over 60% of the world population with almost 3.8 billion people. China and India together have about 40 percent of the world's population. Africa follows with 840 million people, 12% of the world's population. Europe's 710 million people make up 11% of the world's population. North America is home to 514 million (8%), South America to 371 million (5.3%), and Australia to 21 million (0.3%).



.........

Just wondering if anyone else thought the same way?
