I don't think it's even remotely true that the average American's lifestyle is only possible because of the exploitation of other countries. That's some propagandist nonsense. Where were your clothes made? A country that has had a rapidly increasing standard of living and average wages as it has gained access to international trade and global markets. I assume you're going for the sweatshop argument, but in reality developing countries like Bangladesh that are associated with outsourcing and this type of labor have had their standards of living dramatically improve over the past few decades. Progressives are dead wrong when they push the whole "sweatshop labor" idea in the developing world. I'm a capitalist, I think it does more to help the poor than any other system, but if you seriously think we could afford to produce the products we consume in the first world without exploiting the different legal enviroment that exists in other countries you are completely out of touch with reality. No one would make products for consumption half way around the world and ship them here if all markets were operating under the same legal environment. Economies of scale would not offset the shipping costs if labor costs were the same in the country the product is being manufactured for. The same thing happens with our plastic waste. China doesn't want it anymore and now all of sudden we don't know what to do with garbage we used to ship halfway across the world because we can't process it here economically without breaking our own environmental regulations. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:913403658] in Under HW B...
