Billions made on Chicom’s slave labor

And that's all it is.

If they had paid U.S. wages that money would be paying for middle class lifestyles and supporting families. Isn't that what the economy is supposed to be about?

The fact that they haven't invested it tells anyone that they don't see the need to do that to remain competitive in their markets.

Do you employ anyone? Didn’t think so. I don’t employ anyone either, but I have never been under the illusion that businessmen who do hire people, do so to “pay for middle class lifestyles and support families.” They do so to get things done that they can’t or wish not to do themselves. Typically because they can make more money, net of wages than they can without hiring the employee(s).

Now, in reality that consideration tends to lose some of it force relative to “paying for middle class lifestyles and supporting families” of friends who are long-time employees. Concomitant to maintaining the prestige of the owner of the company. But even so, that has its limits . . .
