"Wealth is created through trading of goods and services". That is true. But how much does US pay by exporting services? I'm sure its less than how much they'd pay their citizen. But then, how much would the business owner in china and india pay the labourers? Do you know the kind of life of a factory worker in China? As China is starting to capitalize, there has been a huge disparity of cash distribution in China. I came to know abt this from one of my friends who came from rural china. China does not have a strong infrastructure. China is bound to crumble down one day. I am not trying to spread communism here. Just because I happen to belive what is true in reality, doesn't make me a communist. Just because I attempt to reason, doesn't make me a communist. I haved never said communism works! Nepal's source of income is thru tourism. But it country will not / cannot rise if the infrastructure is not good. And when only the rich ones get benefit, infrastructure cannot be good. There has to be some 'giving back' policy. why do you think US gives benefits to under average earners?? if they don't, internal terrorism will rise in US also.
