For years the American public has been duped into believing that our manufacturing jobs would be shipped overseas, but we would all be retrained for high tech jobs. Poor overseas workers would become richer, we'd be better trained and better paid, and everything would be a free-market utopia.

Its true. Although perhaps not quite the utopia you had in mind - as an individual you may not get retrained into a high tech job, but as a population, yes, you do.

You do not blame the cashier at the corner store, if the potato chips are stale (or just taste bad). You do not blame the cashier at the corner store if the "thing" you just bought there breaks.

But I would blame the owner for the actions of the cashier.
