Re^4: When are you moving to India to find a better job?

[Thargor]

Although I agree totally with the economic reasoning the whole point of having a country is so that it can protect the citizens rights, way of life, and property. If your government doesn't regulate trade then it is not doing its job. The object being that people want to trade with you bad enough that you trade on favorable terms bringing in more money to your country than you output.

But if your terms are too high, because your citizens are greedy, no one will trade with you and then you'll be sunk. I'd rather see the country survive at all then try holding onto a standard of living that can't be sustained.
