Study: Educated People Like Working Toilets

October 25th, 2005 at 8:21 am by Cranky

The New York Times is aghast that:

Poor countries across Africa, Central America and the Caribbean are losing sometimes staggering portions of their college-educated workers to wealthy democracies, according to a World Bank study released yesterday

Could it be that, once educated, people of intelligence tire of paying bribes to have a policemen leave them alone?

Most experts agree that the exodus of skilled workers from poor countries is a symptom of deep economic, social and political problems in their homelands and can prove particularly crippling in much needed professions in health care and education.

Jagdish Bhagwati, an economist at Columbia University who migrated from India in the late 1960′s, said immigrants were often voting with their feet when they departed from countries that were badly run and economically dysfunctional. They get their government’s attention by the act of leaving.

Or might it be – dare I say – that outside the hyperbolic rantings of Michael Moore and millions of disaffected Rage Against The Machine fans, that America has something to offer?

“It’s not just the loss of professionals,” said Mr. Kapur, an associate professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin. “It’s also the loss of a middle class.”

Uh oh. Did someone say “Middle Class”? You know, from my apartment in the East Village, my highly trained progresso-meter tells me that the culprit is – is – is -GLOBALIZATION, IMPERIALISM and WHITEY!

The immigration policies of rich nations, including the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia, have sought to attract highly educated professionals, to bolster their competitiveness and to fill gaps in domestic skills.

The parasites of this world, the Michael Moores, would have you believe that we live in a racist, homophobic police state. However, millions will tell you that they know a good thing when they see it.
