His arguments, and many here, are moot because of the political ramifications of disenfranching such a huge number of voters. The average worker, by definition, commands by far the biggest voting block. When their minds are concentrated on this one problem, irrespective of their normal voting choice, they will vote for whoever offers them a way out. It will end in tears as almost all wall-papering does, but not for a decade or two. FWIW, I think this is the beginning of the China-induced global economic realignment. But we won't begin to see the real ramifications for a couple of decades because of the above.
