3. nytimes elitism
"I hate to seem cold, but as far as I'm concerned, there are plenty of jobs that foreigners can have. Assembling Happy Meal toys, for starters. Filling snow globes with whatever that clear liquid is. For a while, that was the major type of work they did over there, and no one I know appeared to miss it much "

This stinks of elitism...the author may not care that tens of thousands of low skill, low paying jobs were sent overseas, but my guess is there are plenty of low-skill workers in the USA that would be happy to perform the jobs the author claims are somehow beneath him/her....apparentely its only the high wage earners that the author cares about...
