Ace, I'm here on business. Your American firm is paying my Indian firm half a million bucks a year for my services. Dont give me the 60 hours a day crap. I know a shit load of Americans do two jobs. What the hell makes you think the average Indian does not do that.
The average American public services employee is as lazy as an average Indian public services employee. Dont think so, check the work timings, go to a court, a post office, a police station. Anyway, fk that. Let me teach you some math.
Taking a base of 14.58 trillion dollars that the American GDP is at today and assuming an annualized growth of 2% over the next 20 years. These are your GDP numbers.

Taking a base of 4.06 trillion dollars as the Indian GDP today, growing at 9% per anum here are your numbers.

Now honey, go back to school, learn what compounding means, pull you head outta your butt and learn to make an educated argument. The rest of the slander that you posted I am not even responding to.
Now there sweety - you are wrong on two counts -
1. The Indian GDP is currently at $1.7 trillion in 2010 - the blathering idiotic number you posted was for GDP-PPP - I think you should go back to school to figure out what the difference is. Now, growing at a rate of ~9% (average for the last 5 years), that number in 20 years is

2. The "real" GDP of a country is not the one measured by PPP, but the one measured AFTER subtracting the inflation from the "nominal GDP" - which is pretty high in India (~5%), so the "real GDP growth rate" in India is only about 4%. For the USA it is actually pretty close to 2% (the nominal growth rate in the USA is close to 3%), but even accepting it as 1%, the "real GDP" growth calculations for the two countries -

Notice something?
And this is not even questioning your whole stupid assumption that the USA will continue to grow at only 2% (which it has done for only 7-8 years on the last 70 years) and India will continue to grow year after year at 9% (which it has done only 3-4 years in it's 60 years of history.
As for two jobs and more - I do not mean to demean Indians - most Indians work really hard - but not the ones with a salaried job. Not the middle class. In a comparison between one middle class to another, US middle class wins in terms of hard work and honesty anyday.
