Ben yanno DC is trying to use the straw-man argument on you, it also seems he is unaware this a common well known logical fallacy; thinking it is yer closed mind for ignoring such obvious fallacious arguments.

There was these guys (The Yes Men) that gave paid lectures trying to spoof and embarrass the cooperate elite in the guise of representing the WTO.
One of the lectures was that (black) slavery was inevitable to end without a civil war anyway.
Argument was it cost more to feed, house, cloth and police slaves (cheap labor) that are here in country then to have slaves (cheap labor) in foreign countries to produce your goods.
In-country slavery is just not as profitable as outsourcing, so slavery here was destine to end, it cuts into the profits.
Mind you this was a spoof to shock the audience. they expected to be arrested or at least thrown out.
Instead they got an ovation.
Cheese puff ought to see the "good sense" in their logic.
