[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1265435, member: 17969"] This is UNTRUE. The consumers are nothing more than victims of big corporations. Look at LEVI STRAUSS. They had three stitching plants here in the USA before the BUSH administration. Then, after the passage of NAFTA and during BUSH2, they closed all their USA plants and moved them to mexico saying that wages and costs were making the clothing too expensive. They went to Mexico and are paying less than 5 dollars a day for a full shift with ZERO benefits for its workers running three shifts a day. They cut out the american worker and the higher wages and yet the clothing still is 15% higher than when it was made in the USA. When Levi Strauss cut its expenses by millions, it NEVER reduced prices for the public or included the public in the savings. The people who got screwed were the american workers who were displaced and placed onto unemployment. Thank capitalism. TOS. [/QUOTE]
