"American" co's management are trained to look at quarterly profit for wall street..so quick bucks saved by low wages paid overseas, look great on wall street.
But at some point if the American consumer is not earning better wages who do you sell to??
The Free trade and Free market crowd yells let the market determine the cost of goods and what the pay to workers should be..very idealistic and stupid..wake up free market guys..or America's standard of living must move to world averages..much much lower than present.
PS there is no free trade. EU has major tariffs as do most of the worlds biggest countries..only sucker USA has allowed others to dump products here without tariffs.
Perhaps the Free Trade crowd could explain why EU and China, India are using high tariffs ?? IF free trade is so great.

We have plenty of tariffs set against imported goods, ESPECIALLY if they have tariffs set on ours. Give your head a shake.

And the EU economy is really thriving now, isn't it?

Do you want to live in France? China? India?

If only we could pay higher prices for products.
