It does not upset me, but what is your point? What can we do about it? Why does it matter? Why are you pointing it out?

The only way to fix it is with capitalism. I know that there are people who live in corrupt countries who have no choice, but that is not our fault. We cannot do anything about it. When we do try to help them with low skill jobs, the left complains that we are not paying them like CEOs.

Because you seem to feel that the fault lies with the "peasant".

A quote from you:

"If a peasant does not want to be a peasant, he or she is free to choose a higher lifestyle."

My only bone to pick with you is the fact that a lot of peasants do not have a choice. Don't blame them because of it.

As far as the solution goes we are in total agreement, there's just no need to hammer the poor fooker slaving away in some crap hole country trying to put food on his table. By your posts you imply that there is a degree of laziness involved which is not necessarily the case.

That is my point.
