Well, if low wages were the be all and end all of Capitalism, then Nigeria would be the world's economic superpower due to its labor costs being one tenth that of China's. Well, the wages of a factory worker in china is supposed to be 61 cents an hour, with no benefits. Are you saying we can labor in Nigeria at 6 cents an hour?

Chinese laborers get $0.27/hour PLUS housing and meals.
Health care is a bit iffy: if you're real sick, they will arrange for your early demise and a nice fiery funeral.

Sometimes, but $1 for a 12 hour day isn't out of the question there.
