Exploitation in the name of profits--hooray for me--and screw you!

Allowing a corporation to move it's production for the purpose of evading our tax laws, taking advantage of other countries labor standards, along with the nullification of our tariff laws for importing "sweatshop" produced goods puts our U.S. based manufacturers at a disadvantage at all levels of competition. Forcing us to compete with poverty only brings our standard of living down, wages down, and has increased our trade deficits and National debt.

Answer 2

Globalization And Sweatshops

Answer 3

The fact is that employers will always try to find the cheapest labor. If a company is required by law to stay in the country they will find the cheapest labor in the country, in the case of globalization companies will find the cheapest labor in the world. Unfortunately in some cases that labor is children.
Note you also have to define sweatshop. If it is an adult working 14 hours a day, they do have a choice (although choices are somewhat limited sometimes). Children have no choice whatsoever.

Answer 4

Liberals hate both.

When a country like the US has such a burdensome tax structure that it forces companies to move overseas. In some of these countries, people get paid the equivalent of a few cents a day. What liberals never state is that is the standard of living is so much lower. They call these places sweatshops.

Answer 5

I think the liberals are sort of perplexed at this one (and don't quite know how to answer), since they're heavily into globalism but don't like "sweatshops." Maybe you've got them cornered!

Hahaha! I see that we have one of the cornered liberals below, who IN USUAL FASHION spews an insult for lack of anything meaningful to say when cornerered. DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT THEY'RE BUSTED!!

Hey Scotty, that's pretty eloquent, boy! Reread the question and undestand that it has to do with globalism and how sweatshops are related! :)

Answer 6

Sweatshops have nothing to do with globalization.

Americans had slavery long before globalization.

Sweatshops are run by greedy entrepreneurs as a get rich quick scheme. They simply exploit people who are willing to be exploited because they don't know any better.

Answer 7

there not...sweatshops have been around sicne the beginning of time
"globalization" has only been around 30-40 years...

Answer 8

sweatshops are usually in 3rd world and closed countries that have no transparency to the outside world..(china)...there..the gov't pretty much dictates the price of labor because of no unions and organizing ability of the laborers...democrats love low prices, but hate the big corporations (walmart) ...they want to tax their profits simply because they used clintons NAFTA and free trade with china laws to make more money....talk about wealth redistribution...from us working americans to the ruling elite...

Answer 9

Business gets to exploit the cheapest workers in the lowest standard conditions, worldwide, forcing workers in countries with better conditions to reduce their wages and conditions.

Hence sweatshops.

Coming to a western country near you.

Answer 10

They help Globalization by particularizing the refulgent participation of the Brahmin caste in the furnace of democracy, and stuff like that.
