Except that overseas labor isn't going to be dirt-cheap forever. We can keep shifting manufacturing around to different developing countries but it's just kicking the can down the road and saying we'll deal with it later. Eventually Chinese workers and Malaysian workers and all the rest are going to start demanding real wages, and I don't think it's too far away now either. Maybe 20 more years we can keep playing this game but it's going to get harder and harder. Add to it we're running out of busywork to have people doing, costs of automation are plummeting, jobs that were initially thought by the majority of people to be safe from the robots are turning out to be not-so-safe, and the elite continue to live under the delusion that they can continue stockpiling wealth while the rest of us scrape by. There are a lot more poor people than rich people, and your money isn't going to help much when they're breaking down your door with torches and pitchforks.
