Everyone in western society is owed a good well-paying job so long as they’re also willing to work for it. It’s our birthright and expectation. You can believe that no one is owed that and that everyone can just work for pennies from Walmart as America and the Western world continues to go down in flames.

Well, that is certainly a major difference between our points of view. I'm not going to say that you're wrong. Global labor arbitrage is an expected byproduct of Capitalism. There is no easy fix for that. Economies will have to transform as the requirements of the workforce change. The trend is certainly towards more automation and off-shoring, and just like we don't expect people to be ditch-diggers anymore, maybe we won't expect them to do menial jobs too. And on top of that the current population of the world is simply not sustainable, doesn't matter where you live.
