text: First I'd like to say, I wish more people like you would come here.\n\nBecause the US is obsessed with competiting with poverty stricken countries.  The less education and job training you have, the lower wage you're willing to take, the better chance you have of coming here.  My husband has a Bachelor's degree and had to take a 12 thousand dollar a year cut in pay to keep his job.\n\nThe value of our home went down several thousand dollars within one year.  Utilites, other necessities and taxes all went up.  45 years of hard work down the drain all in the name of competition.\n\nOur government is working hard to bring in uneducated poor people to work at sub level wages, the goal being to bring our wages to the level of China, India and Mexico.  Unfortunately, so far so good, we're looking more like Mexico everyday.  \n\nWe're headed for Socialism.  Our American dream is turning into a nightmare.
