    Hostility to business, unemployment highest where the minimum wage is highest, and the shift of wealth he's talking about is US going from #1 in most things to behind many other countries in most things.

    Gee... the story I heard yesterday from intel was that more and more PC devices are being replaced by smartphones, IPads etc... and that combined with the job loses (less jobs = less PCs) = less money for intel. Gee I can't wait to work for Intel. Sighs. How about just follow the wave Intel... instead of complaining about it.
