[QUOTE="soberups, post: 748004, member: 14668"] Perhaps the reason that they cant get a job anywhere else...is because many of the factories that used to employ Americans to make the items we like to buy have been relocated to China so that stores like MallWart can sell the stuff to us for cheaper. Its a vicious circle. We demand cheap products, so to meet that demand the manufacturers move the jobs to China....meaning there are fewer jobs here and less people who can afford to pay more $$ for American-made products...which creates an even [I]greater[/I] demand for the cheap Chinese goods....and so on and so on. We are cutting our own throats when we buy the cheap Chinese crap. Thre is no such thing as "competition" or "free enterprise" when you are dealing with a country that does not have to obey [I]any[/I] enviornmental, labor, or human-rights laws. It doesnt matter [I]how[/I] hard working or talented the American worker is, he/she cannot "compete" on a [I]price[/I] basis against children or political prisoners who "earn" $.20 an hour in sweatshops.
