None, but we need to control what comes in and out of the borders so jobs wont go to china workers making 2 bucks a day.
Why? If the work is worth 2 bucks a day, why in god's name would you want to give someone more than that to do it for you? If you think people should have more of your money than their works is worth, why don't you just give it to them for doing nothing?
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Now with most folks that would be a rhetorical question - but you really aren't sure, are you?

What I know is that the more I have to pay someone else to do work for me, the less of my own money I get to keep.

You are not paying anyone to do work for you. You are buying chinese and mexican made goods from a corporation that takes advantage of semi-slave labor, and guess what..they keep the profits!

Yeah, so? Why don't you just start your own company making the same stuff and I'll buy it from you so you can keep the profit?

I have a plan for my own software company but it would be foolish to get in debt for it because it requires a lot of time and patience, and little resources to get started.
One resource it requires is someone who can program. Where will you find someone like that?

Oh, well in that case than, no loan. Sorry.

I've seen your code, remember? It is unacceptable and I would fire anyone who turned it in to me for review - and before you decide this is a personal thing - I think Ilion has written some excellent code.

Rough rule of thumb: it takes about three years of working with people who understand OOP doing production-level code before you can call yourself someone who understands object-orientation. Before you can design an object-oriented program, you need about 4 years under your belt doing OOP. Some people may do it in 6; others may take 8 or longer. But you have been working in a restaurant, not a code shop; and you sure as hell haven't been writing programs. Problem with bullshitting about your programming skills is that sooner or later someone notices if you are all hat and no cattle.

I have been studying computer science since I was 12, starting with programming for DOS. I have been doing this for 10 years dammit. I'm not some punk kid fiddling with computers in my spare time. I know damn well what I am doing, how it works, why it works, why it is that way...
