Gotta love people who whine about "gobalization" using the internet; the
shining beacon of that concept.
"Globalization" is a nebulous and many faceted term. It means
different things in different contexts.
So what exactly is wrong with the lowest wages/taxes? C'mon, think it
through to the end.
Nothing. Except that we have an artificially jacked up economy
due, in part, to minimum wage laws, and stron unions.
Let's see, corporations want to make as much money as possible. Yet every
person who is bitching about exported jobs is really bitching about what....
...oh yeah, how the corporation is preventing *them* from making as much
money as possible. Demonizing the very behavior they're engaged in. That's
smart.
You might also think about how other countries take
tax money re-labeled "Foreign Aid" from us in the USA,
then subsidize their own industries so they can sell
"cheaper" items than we can make on our own. Japan
is famous for that.
