Issa: "If you go to India or if you go to any number of other Third World countries, you have two problems. You have greater inequality of income and wealth.

I think we can...."

Alesci: "Yeah, I don't think the comparrison, really, is one we want to make, right? We don't want to compare ourselves to India; we want to...."

Issa: "Wh... Why shouldn't you?"
