It's just none of your business what I pay my workers or where I shop or what I buy or what I pay or what I earn or anything else as long as I don't violate any of your rights.

You're right, it isn't, and I could care less. But if you're going take your company overseas, pay workers $1.00 putting Americans out of work by flooding the market with those products then it becomes all of our business.

Again, as I pointed out to you free trade with third world countries is recent policy, begun in the nineties. Prior to that protectionism ruled the day, and for Americans it worked very well. And I predict whether you like it or not eventually we will go back to it in some form. Politicians, preferably parties prefer to get re-elected, and they'll do what they have to when enough Americans have had enough of "free trade".

The next statement puts lie to that claim.

Wrongo. Whatever I do is none of your business, or anyone elses. You talk like a collectivist. I don't owe anyone a job. I have no obligation to hire people from one ethnic or nationality group or geographic region. And it's NO one's business if I don't violate anyones rights. No one has a "right" to not have a flooded market, or a certain price commodity or anything else.

I notice you just gave the poor workers of the world a huge raise!!!! LOL
