Rich countries are going to be poor and poor countries rich !

If things continue like this it is going to be very bad for rich countries like US, UK, or Australia.

First things first. The general concept that people in poor countries do poor is wrong. Every country there are wise people and skilled people as well as idiots. It is just that

From the buyer's perspective, if they can get the same work with the same quality done at a cheaper price than in US or UK or Australia, why the hell would they bother? Afterall US is following capitalism and that is what capitalism talks if I am not mistaken. For people who are not much aware of how cheap the labor is in a country like India... What an employer pays a US employee for a MONTH is what his Indian counter-part might get for a YEAR at best !!!!!!!

The result is that ordinary people in Rich countries are going be poorer while Rich people in rich countries are going to be still Richer ! May be some day if this continues, ordinary US people might start revolution and think of communism or socialism !
