Manny Pacquiao Humanitarian... I Think Not

[rskumm21]

slavery and this issue are not the comparable......slavery was one of the US greatest mistakes throughout it's entire modern history.....anyway....this is lounge material.

Well to some extent the two do relate, since people on here are trying to justify the unfair treatment of human beings as a means to monetary advancement of a people.

Yet you pay $150 for a pair of sneakers that cost them $5 to manufacture... What you are speaking of can still be accomplished without the high level of greed where a select group at the top benefit the most.

transporation + trade tariffs + markup = $150 for a pair of sneaks. If they made them in the US and had to pay factory workers above the award rate you would pay $300 for those same sneaks.

My point is that free trade helps poor countries just as much as it does the rich as long as the conditions of unilateral free trade agreements are not excessively punitive or disadvantageous to one party.

but you are missing my point......if you interview those people working in a sweat shop they will not say they are being treated unfairly.......

slavery was about the enhancement of one over the other (free trade is about mutual benefit) and it's social impacts have yet to fully be erased in the United States. Generations of ****** were not afforded education and the opportunities to advance in life. I actually support repirations from a moral standing, even though they are economically unviable.

So then by your logic slavery was good since it gave people work that they otherwise would not have gotten. I mean, at least it gave them a job to do right? They should have been grateful instead of upset that they were being abused.

Are you an idiot, fool? ****** were imprisoned by whites and sold off into forced labor. How the hell does any of this relate to a developing nation's people being able to work?

Economists are focused on "trade offs" and when it comes to sweatshops, they ask whether the alternative of unemployment or even worse employment is better. In addition, sometimes when anti-sweatshop activists were successful in getting sweatshops to close, some of the employees who had been working in the sweatshops ended up starving to death, while others ended up turning to prostitution

I find it a bit disturbing that you people all are trying to justify sweat shops and the abuse of underpaid workers. Please find me these "interviews" of the underage and abused, where they are so delighted to be working under such abusive conditions. BTW, you do know that human trafficking is practiced by many of these sweatshops? These people being interviewed in this video don't seem to be too happy. Again, these shoes do not need to be $300 if made in the U.S or other places where workers are fairly paid. The same materials are used on other shoes made in North America, and they are able to be sold at a much cheaper rate. Why is that? The problem is that greedy Nike executives are collecting all of the marked up profit; Also, these celebrities that contribute to this process, and benefit from huge endorsements off of them need to be paid. This is the reason why they are so much more expensive then what they need to be. Manny Pacquiao is contributing to this disgusting process in order for personal gain while others suffer.
