And he's right. Their patriotically low wages produce tens of thousands of flesh & blood welfare recipients who cost the taxpayer $6.2 Billion annually.


I've always found this interesting. Nike is horrible because they pay whatever to peasants in Viet Nam. WM is evil because of their low wages. Those poor people not making enough. The end game with the nannies is to shut down the Nike plant, to run the WM out of town...if not out of business. When that happens, those poor people making squat will really be in the driver's seat. But the nannies will feel better about themselves for "doing something". Which is what really matters.
