    So abusing people is OK because somewhere else it may be worse......???


    Is that how a good CHRISTIAN country salves it's conscience??? Profit is EVERYTHING?

    Is that what America really stands for? Is that what Jesus and the Pope and all those goddy people stand for???


    The slaves in the Big House were LUCKY because they could've been in the field???



    That's how Third World countries come about ...because people lose their decency...they target their hate at those who have the least ability to fight back....would it be that GODawful if Walmart executives only got $1500.00 an hour instead of $2,000 so they could help the poor people who made them that rich ?
    They worship the wealthy as their true god...no one better dare say a word against them and their inhumanity or we must be jealous...what a way to sweep what little conscience people have left under the rug...


    Yup, keep defending th Wealthy Gods and targeting the poor with hate or worse, indiifference.....but do NOT be surprised when the situation is in your own back yard....

    I guess you don't know that in a Third World country there are only twp levels of people, the extremely wealthy and the desperately poor.....and if you're in here you are NOT one of the Wealthy (don't bother claiming you are, you aren't or you wouldn't be in here)...so YOU would be on the bottom along with the majority.


    This country is headed that way with idiots who think raising wages to something people can live on is evil...

    The Wealthy want people to be so desperate that they will work for any wage, any hours, any conditions....that helps the Wealthy, it doesn't help the country...so those people are treasonous Anti-Americans.

    Damn right I'm not rich. Never claimed to be. That does not stop reality nor does it stop this planet from revolving. I made my choices in life and no where along the line did I CHOSE to persue wealth to the best of my ability.
    Those are the choices I made. Not the wisest decisions but they were mine to make and damn if I'll whine about it now. Those are the choices we all make in this country. So get off your high horse and stop telling me everyone must succeed to YOUR expectations.
    Equality among men simply means when you drop out of the birth canal your options are unlimited. After that its up to the individual to rise as high as they desire or are capable of.
    I'm tired of this rant (*)(*)(*)(*) where if we just steal from the producers in life a little more we'll all be rich.
    I work for a man younger than I and he started in the business long after I knew it. He signs my paycheck on the front. I sign it on the back. I'm not envious of him. I have all the respect in the world for that kid who reached for the brass ring. I'm happy to be his employee.
    Someday I hope you'll be happy also.

    Ya took it personally instead of logically, losing any argument. Basing what happens in the world by using one irrelevent situation doesn't prove a thing.

    Besides your "personal story" also shows you didn't understand a word I wrote...

    To get wages that low wouldnt it take a massive unskilled unemployed population in America. Sounds more like a Democrat plan with their policies that increase unemployed while allowing almost open borders.

    That said i think it would be better if those jobs were in Western countries that paid a fair wage (say like the new US $9min wage) with safe conditions. 10 pairs of jeans per hour at $9 is only a 90c increase, id be more than willing to pay a couple of bucks more for that.

    All the US needs to do is to create a Fair Market... The US can stipulate a foreign minimum wage on all imports. When an import is made a kickback is required to the factory worker. This will put the imports on more even ground with US factory workers and increase the desire by foreigners to create US products.

    The US economy will stabilize on fair prices and there won't be such a 1500% price markup lining the pockets of the greedy rich in exploitation of humans.

    A fair market is absolutely necessary, because foreign company imports must also be forced to apply ethics or they will merely cost undercut the US companies.

    Also the US could level tax the imports to match US products and then use the tax to ensure the money goes to the factory workers.

    Marshal, I've kicked your butt before, I'm gonna kick it again. Here is the start: Were those workers working in US factories made their career choice out of volunteer decision or they did so because a group of US marines held them at the gunpoint of rifles?

    I know you are gonna chicken out and ignore this question. Go ahead, make my day.

    100% of the people exploited by US Corporations do so out of desperation.

    Desperation is somewhere in the middle of voluntarily and under duress of military assault rifles.

    Desperation is the point at which a social behaviour transitions from good to evil.

    Desperation... Where there is desperation there is tyranny, there is exploitation, and there is evil.

    It seems you missed my butt and kicked yourself in the face.

    That was just the start though. What's your follow up move... Body slam?

    I refuse to pay inflated prices of products made by westerners.

    My demands as a consumer with cash to offer trumps your lame moralizing. No one but you gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) about 3rd world labor.

    You keep claiming its corporations, without understanding that it is me, the consumer who demands rock bottom prices, and if me getting rock bottom prices means exploiting 3rd world labor, then so be it.

    It IS exploitation, and it's destroyed America.

    Nobody forces a heroin addict to keep using drugs either.


    What's your definition of "exploitation"? I'm curious. Would you consider Saddam Hussein exploitative? I mean, those people got enough to live so, nobody was forcing them to stay.

    $1.40 an hour? Generous soul huh?

    Our day will come and the world will see that it was their traditional ideas that brought prosperity in the first place, and we are merely recognizing the current western disparity is caused by a deviation from those original principles of economic parity and entrepreneurial freedoms.

    Our day will come friends, and our day must arrive! If tyranny, aristocracy and exploitation could exist in history, and give forth into an era of prosperity, so to will the same tidal forces, caused by tyranny, bring forth social change and give way to a future of individual freedoms!

    Here’s another thought about minimum wage.

    A robotics company has patented a robotic meat-processing system. Once the beef or hog has been slaughtered, the robots take over – cutting, grinding and packaging the meat and it is never touched by human hands. They are building a pilot plant (500 head a day) in Kansas. If it works they scale up again.

    Yeah, there are still humans employed for slaughtering, skinning and maintenance. About 10% of what are employed now. Unskilled illegal aliens will be automated out of work.

    They are working on one for chickens.

    If they can automate meat processing, maybe one day they can automate cutting and sewing fabric. (So far that has proven resistant, but who knows?) Then the jeans operation moves back to the US (cutting transportation costs) and a half-dozen Americans make as many jeans as a thousand Bangladeshis make today. The Bangladeshis can then go back to their villages and enjoy some real poverty.
