It may not be politically correct, but children working hard is NOT a bad thing! As long as there is not some kind of REAL abuse, children working for a little bit of money is not a bad thing.
I had a few opportunities when I was a child to work. Once I got around $2/day. I was overjoyed to have $10 at the end of a week. And that was HERE IN THE GOOD OLD USA, where $10 is nothing.
Everyone who opposes children making a buck in CHINA because it's unethical should reconsider. They are likely living healthier lives because of the OPPORTUNITY to work and have money, to buy food and clothing and, on occasion, get medical care.
Some woman can't afford a tooth brush? If she has a job and makes money, she's better off than if she didn't. Besides, that's the wrong way to describe the situation. If she has money, but doesn't spend it on a tooth brush, then she has decided NOT TO afford (not "can't afford") the tooth brush. But without the paying job, she wouldn't have the opportunity to choose. But she's making money and making decisions on how to spend the money in MORE IMPORTANT ways than on a tooth brush.
All retailers do this: take goods and resell them at a higher price. There is nothing wrong with that. It benefits the workers who produce the goods and it benefits the consumers who need the goods.
The real problem is a free global economy. I won't call it evil, but it is a problem to us. Borders have kept economies apart for so long, and now with the inequality in economies is draining us of wealth. That's what you get when you open the dam.
Wal-Mart is not the problem. They were just one of the first national retailers to take advantage of free trade. What we need to do is make an effort to show a great deal of opposition to free trade and globalization.
A sparse network of like-minded people cannot overcome this. You would need to create a community of people living in harmony, producing and consuming goods locally. You will not have much success without the ability to buy locally, building your own local economy instead of spread out amongst many different local economies that all thrive on cheap goods.
The cost of living here is low, and so are wages. I likely wouldn't be able to afford many products made in the US, even if it's by liberty supporters. Unless their cost of living was low like my own.
But having a community with it's own balanced, self-sustaining economy is something I really would like to be a part of. Because the US is doomed by it's own policies and cannot sustain itself, and all communities without balanced, self-sustaining economies are doomed with it. I don't want to be one of the hundreds of millions of people fighting just to hold on to life when it all comes crashing down and there's no local support, just other helpless people like myself who relied on Wal-Mart.
Corps pay NO taxes the customers pay for EVERYTHING.<IMHO>
