Of course, closing down factories in the USA left lots of Americans out of work, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs!
In China, there is no minimum wage and no “time and a half” overtime pay. Nor are there any paid vacation days. Workers in Chinese sweatshops typically work very long hours every day of the week. So, you might wonder when they have any time to be at home. Well, for many their pay is so low that they actually have to live at the factory!
Progressives would call that exploitation. But regressives call it FREEDOM! Thanks to outsourcing, billionaire corporate tycoons have the FREEDOM to increase their already huge profits by paying their workers less! That’s why stuff imported from China usually costs considerably less than the American-made counterparts.
Exploiting Chinese sweatshop labor is the American way!
