An Indian programmer with US based experience can go home to a consulting job paying well above the national average. The slaves will then be the ones cleaning his house and home schooling his children and cooking his meals and driving him to work. Of course, as time goes on things change....the better teachers, the better cooks, the better drivers get hired by the higher paying consultants....blah blah blah....

The US exists on a five tier system:

The Upper Class who make money of the lower classes The Middle Class who think they are Upper Class The Middle Class who make money for the Upper class. The Lower Class who think they are part of the Middle class. The Lowest Class who exist solely to scare the other classes into working (The bastard offspring)

We are simply adding a new class...that is the Foreign Class. They are like the winner of the AKC Eukanuba Dog Show (Westminster in UK). They're kind of cute at first and they impress your friends...you train them to do tricks...but then they bore you because you realize that people have seen the tricks already and well...you don't have much else to show for it. So you throw your toys away - the dog goes to the "pound" and well....the next year another dog comes along...and he's different and people forget the last dog.....

How is this different than the people in the US PAYING to go to University for three years (making nothing and occasionally continuing post doctoral) ? Let's see...you get paid, your contract company makes money, and yes, you end up with a job ...oh that's the difference..my bad.

What's the problem with indentured slaves ? They work hard.
