Someone care to address that?  It's sort of a first principle for a lot of 
anti-globalization folks that regular U.S. workers are enjoying the bounties 
of imperialism.  How much is this really true if you count the military 
costs, and examine the glorious 'standard of living' of the bottom 70 percent 
or so, which would include nearly every union household?  And yes, I have 
spent time in countries the U.S. & IMF beat up on.
