The key is to understand that jobs don't belong to the country/public.

Kamal's theory, here, is that all money and power belongs to the CEOs and the rich people and no one else. In other words, the top, richest 1% get to live a nice life and everyone else (the other 99%) have to have a fate of living like Dalits, untouchables, poor, the homeless, and live in dirt and dust, and beg for food.

One has to bring value to the table in terms of being competitively
priced to get/retain jobs.

Kamal still doesn't understand that the name of the game is how EVERYONE wants to keep thier _exchange rates_ so that rich countries (eg. the USA) can hire poor countries (eg. India) to do work, and poor countries have to keep their labor cheap so as to keep bringing in US dollars to help India grow.

If you know something of macro-economics, you will realize that wealth

If you would just wake up one day and realize that US, Japan, and Europe really are rich, we might have some progress in your knowledge. After all, its not money that is coming out of India.

I think you'd better start worrying more about China and less about the USA. Our DoD discovered China spending 3X more on military expansion than China says.

It isn't that
but for W or job-stealing Indians -you would have been living in the
first world.

It ain't just the Indians stealing jobs. China is stealing even more.
