On the one hand it is used to discredit an argument that has not been made by those accused of adhering to that fallacy. More importantly, especially in today's global labor market, is that those making the fallacy accusation never bother to address the actual concerns voiced by representatives of the labor market. That often being that what ever expansion of work that does occur is, and has for several decades now, been shifted to the lowest cost portions of that global market. On the other hand I may not understand the entire issue. Then again I'm not an economist trained in the more arcane language of political economy.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971442888151627894noreply@blogger.com
