Sure, there is a middle ground. They only way to achieve it is to be very careful who you vote for. A lot of US politicians in office today are just lackeys for the rich (and big business).
As far as the foreigners continuing to work so cheap, they are just like us, the want nice things also. And they have to work on their governments too.
FYI, China is in the progress of building the second largest road system in the world, after the US. This is one of the reasons for higher oil prices, the demand there is increasing as workers there are able to buy cars and drive, so their income must be increasing somewhat. (They sell brand new Ford Mavericks-remember them- in China-but the Chinese one is an SUV).
A final note more relavant to the demise of Zenith is that there is still a lot of electonics manufacturing in the US. Many of the microchips in your cars(including some Japanese ones), PCs,TVs, Stereos(including foreign/Japanese brands), cellphones, etc. are manufactured in the United States! Companies with factories in the US include Intel, Freescale(formerly Motorola), TI, IBM, National Semiconductor, Samsung(yes Samsung) among others. TV manufacturing may be elsewhere, but other electronic manufacturing is alive and well here.
