It's hyperbole - however, the liberals actually believe it. They think any1 working below the (unconstitutional) minimum wage is a slave.

No, it's not hyperbole, and I'm not talking about US workers getting miniumum wage. I'm talking about *Chinese* prisoners in Chinese prisons. Some of them no doubt are felons who would be imprisoned in the US as well, but the vast majority are *prisoners of conscience* - people who either opposed the government, or were of the "wrong" religion, or both.

Why is everybody over in India warning them about backlash?


Steve Clemons (R), Executive Vice President of the New America Foundation speaks next to Narayana Murthy, Chairman of Infosys Technologies Ltd, at the annual conference of India's software lobby body NASSCOM, in Bombay February 5, 2004. Clemons said the fact that the U.S. economy was growing without a commensurate creation of new jobs was causing great public turmoil and leading to the backlash against outsourcing services jobs to places like India.
