I have to disagree with the idea that doctors are the best and brightest and that is why they are entitled to earn the amount of money that they do. I do not believe that a doctor has any higher of an IQ as the nest person.

Thanks for the opportunity to add my view

What I am worried about is american companies giving away our competitive avantages in technology and manufacturing.  I'm thinking that sending manufacturing overseas is giving other countries not only the manufacturing capacity this gives away our twechnology also. I also feel that other places in the world are not requiring our enviromental standards which is a big reason why things can be manufactured so much cheaper. Our technology has enabled us to build products in a much cleaner and sustainable way and we have learned how to do this yet do not require it of other countries. Maybe those other countries are developing, does that mean they can go back to arcanine and envirionmentaly unsound ways of manufacturing or should the lessons that have been learned be also passed on and required in the manufacture of pproducts and not just start the polution cycle all over again. Are we not as humans supposed to learn from our past mistakes and not keep making them over and over again.
