Mr. williamcombs, I don't even know what to say. Maybe you need to read up on marginalization of farmers/workers in global trade before you comment here. Let me suggest http://www.oaklandinstitute.org/?q=no...
"I want to put the profits of my labor into the least expensive products, period. I'm not concerned about their communities."
Great. Even if getting least expensive products means that they come from companies that employ forced and/or child labor to produce the goods, that prohibit workers from forming democratic unions and that pollute the environment? So what if a child under the age of 14 is workin 18 hours a day at a cocoa farm in the Ivory Coast. You're just happy your chocolate is cheap, right?
"The United States didn't need foreign consumers telling us how to run our industries. We got away from child labor on our own."
Really? What about the factories owner/operated by American companies overseas?
