>You still persist in thinking that my concern here is about myself rather than about the broader society. I think that says more about you than about me.


You might be right and I might be wrong.

Do you think if the median income of the country jumped an extra $35K the world would be any better off?

I know the average American would probably extend themselves out that much further in debt.

I suspect the world at large would only suffer from it.

People wouldn't magically stop funding the exploitation of human beings over seas. They'd probably do more of it.
