There's somewhere that offers higher paying jobs and a better lifestyle than America? The quality of life in the US is fantastic if you're rich, asides from the French countryside or the South-West of England I can't think of anywhere I've personally been that compares.
Economics is so silly sometimes...
It's funny really, so many political parties seem to advocate free-market economics as the answer to everything, yet when you actually study economics, the majority of the applied topics are all about figuring out how to fix what the market gets wrong when you move away from the ideals of perfect competition. The jury is still well-out on both capitalism and the usage of economics in politics IMO

Let's face it, in a world of "have's" and "have-nots" you can't have an open border.

I quite agree.
Don't you just hate it when an otherwise excellent political party lets it down with crap economic policies? (in general I mean...)
