Chinese Workers Pay for Wal-Mart's Low Prices

Retailer Squeezes Its Asian Suppliers to Cut Costs

SHENZHEN, China -- Inside the factory, amid clattering machinery and
clouds of sawdust, men without earplugs or protective goggles feed
wood into screaming electric saws, making cabinets for stereo
speakers. Women hunch over worktables, many hands bandaged and few
covered by gloves, pressing transistors into circuit boards.
Most of the 2,100 workers here are poor migrants from the countryside
who have come to this industrial hub in southern China for jobs that
pay about $120 a month. A sign on the wall reminds them of their
expendability in a nation with hundreds of millions of surplus
workers: "If you don't work hard today, tomorrow you'll have to try
hard to look for a job."
Is the wakening giant a monster?

At least these people are not living off entitlement programs
like California's GR and GA. They WORK for a living. You ought to
try it sometime.

No they are chained to their work stations inside locked rooms that
happen to be fire hazards. Proud to be getting rich by exploiting
other people are you? Sleep well at night do you?

Well, he must be a christian, so, of course, he is proud of slavery:
"As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male
and female slaves from among the nations that are round about you. You
may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their
families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may
be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit
as a possession for ever; you may make slaves of them, but over your
brethren the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with
harshness." Leviticus 25:44-46
Hey, they're Chinese. They ain't got Jesus. Sure let's enslave them.
And, at all times, remember that the Enlightenment did NOTHING to advance
our awareness of morality. EVERYTHING we know about morality comes from
the bible. And the bible is NOT an historical or anthropological archive,
it is ETERNAL TRUTH. SO, SURE slavery is and always has been WAY COOL!
(If you are a christian).

Slaves work for a living too. Do you prefer slavery to welfare?

So it's better for the corporations to use your taxes to pay for their
worker's health care when they end up in the emergency room and part
of their support because they don't pay enough for a person to live
off of? I guess you prefer to pay a lot of taxes for the benefit of
some large company and then watch as they transfer your job to China.
You are a sucker. And then it will be your turn to be sitting around
on assistance because you can't get a job.

Just because you would be sitting around waiting for a job,
does not mean that everyone would be following your example.
Myself, if I can't find a job, I start a business. It works
in any country that is not Leftist like Cuba, North Korea,
Brazil, Venezuela, etc. The U.S. is still the king of opportunities
until the Kucinichs, Ketsup Kerrys, Al 'Tobacco' Gores, and the
'Bootleg' Kennedys turn this country into a Brazil.

Love entitlements? Move to Europe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat the 10% unemployment
there while you are at it.
