I can't believe someone would pen such an article. The man clearly ignores reality.

Here's an alternative hypothesis to this nut jobs argument.

America won WW2. It was a prosperous time. Employment was plentiful. With prosperous individuals buying GM vehicles, GM in turn raised wages and appeased organized labor. Organized labor become complacent, greedy and sloppy and management allowed it. Product quality suffered. All of a sudden, prosperous individuals began to buy Honda's, Toyota's and Nissan's. GM suffered. Wages decreased. And now we are here.

This clown thinks wealth is static (there is only so much pie to go around) and the rich are getting rich AT THE EXPENSE of the poor.

Someone needs to take this man's pen away (be advised, it is very long). He even rails against IP. Clearly he understands that without the protection of IP, one would be disinclined to invest in finding solutions. Nearly every point he makes is insane. Guys like this enable parrots like NJ..
