  > Those not robbing the country are those who are to poor to move money to another country. Let's look at some real world countries. Places like Venezuela and Syria used to have reasonable approximations of middle classes before they turned into hell holes. Middle classes that lived off honest work. > Where should they go? A first world country where their 2 cents aint worth shit? First, the price level differences between poor and rich countries aren't that large. Second, even if they were, you could still go to another country with a low price level that was better run. Eg moving from Venezuela to Bangladesh would be an improvement. Third, if you come from a poor country and manage to first world country, the real price is that your labour will be much more productive there. To illustrate the first and third point, just look at all the people who come from poor countries and move to the US illegally. The jump in earnings is so large, that they even endure illegality and working menial jobs.
