You have used the same amount for all cases. Please cite places in addition to Viet Nam.

And btw, I'm not in denial, it's just making you cite sources instead of repeating nonsense over and over.

I don't care one way or the other if these people make .20 or 2 million dollars. It misses the point. The point is, it's none of your business, or mine what arbitrary price you set. It's not your call. It's the business of the two parties to the aggreement.

Free people do not believe in wage and price controls set by governments. No matter if they do it by fiat or convoluted tarriffs and subsidies. That's for commies and socialists and other assorted thugs.

You have put words in my mouth so many times on this thread I don't know if it's worth continuing with you. Show me one post where I said all countries besides Vietnam were paying workers .20 an hour. Never did.

In China and Mexico it's more like $1.00 to $2.00, but still it's far below the going rate of the average American. They cannot compete with those slave labor wages, it's why there's so much outsourcing going on today. And it's why, as we speak Congress is holding hearings on the problem. Even they have begun to realize if there are no workers, who's going to buy the products and pay taxes? Free trade has its limits, and there will be some regulation eventually.
