[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 739982, member: 60724"] Gavin asks: That depents on what your definition of "our" is. If we created an "American Union" with all of Canada, North American, Mexico, and South America the long-term effect would certainly be one of general increased prosperity and a standard of living for most involved. Many here would look at it as a redistribution of wealth in the short term. That's a myopic, xenophobic way to view what would happen, but many would view it that way. As there were short-term freezes and even drops in wages for certain types of jobs, many would cry the common "They've stolen our jobs" mantra. However, as those previously at the bottom prosper, they buy more, and you actually get a "trickle up" (sorry, not down...and stop the peeing jokes already) effect. It would help us...but many of today's "haves" simply don't want to see the "have-nots" prosper because they subscribe to the "scarcity principle"...which to them means there is only so much good fortune and prosperity to go around.
