"And as soon as a society gets wealthy enough, they end child labor"

So that makes it OK for walmart to profit from labor practices that we outlawed a 100 years ago? Yall bean counters are really something, I used to think plantiff lawyers were the wrost sort of human trash, but yall bean counters are happy enslaving an entire nation if it will safe you a couple of bucks.

Help me out here. If we stop buying from Wal-Mart, and prevent it from expanding into China, we will stop unfair labor practices? What am I missing?

You don't even know the difference between 7% and 70%. I'd be wasting my time asking your for a source for your charge that WalMart uses child labor.

You hope all those children in poor countries remain unemployed and starving because that's your idea of Christian charity?

I am anxiously waiting to hear your plan for ameliorating poverty in third world countries. I am especially interested in your explanation as to how people who did not have jobs are worse off with jobs making goods for Wal Mart. Maybe you could also tell us why so many Chinese are desperately trying to get one of those jobs paying $.50 per hour you condemn as exploitative.
