Leftists and union bosses are wrong on outsourcing

[JohnSmith2007 353]

Clothing. How many celebrities were forced to drop their lines, once that uncomfortable revelation made the news?

The clothes would have had to have been made in America first and then those jobs sent overseas to be made for the same company. We have laws that prohibit child labor made goods being imported to here. You point out that whenever it is found out those imports are stopped.

Your still deflecting. That isn't outsourcing, it is consumers buying goods made in other countries. I haven't justified child labor I simply stated that because the country is poor the children are working. Taking business away from those countries makes things worse for the kids, not better. Why do you hate poor children so much?

I'll look past your twisted sense of morality for a moment and argue on the logic of it. If these countries are that dependent on U.S. consumers, who has the upper hand? Would you make the same kind of excuse if the money was used to fund terrorist groups? We have a moral responsibility to demand that all imported products in the U.S. are free from the exploitation of children. I would think that's a given among most good-natured Americans, but I obviously underestimate the free market zealots who'd think child slavery can be rationalized.

Child labor is not child slavery. I understand your concerns with children working, but the lies are unnecessary.

I'm not talking about 12 year old girls babysitting their neighbor's toddler, or 12 year old boys helping out on their family farm. I'm talking about forced labor of children.

"Child labor ranges from four-year-olds tied to rug looms to keep them from running away, to seventeen-year-olds helping out on the family farm. In some cases, a child's work can be helpful to him or her and to the family; working and earning can be a positive experience in a child's growing up. This depends largely on the age of the child, the conditions in which the child works, and whether work prevents the child from going to school".

A child working in a factory for money is not a slave. A child working on a farm for money is not a slave. I agree with most of your points on this issue except when you call them all slaves. That is just dishonest.

Leave it to you to throw another straw man into the mix. What does terrorism have to do with anything? I see your wife is from the Philippines. You do know that children work there all the time? Does that mean you will not buy something made in the Philippines? If you did and other followed your lead you know what would happen? Not less children working to be sure. There would be more poverty and more child labor as they try to feed themselves. Your twisted logic would result in more suffering and child exploitation.

You think child exploitation is to the benefit of a country and its people as you continue to justify it. You're a real piece of work.
