Reply #24: When it's Fair trade vs Slave trade I say tax the crap out of the slavers [View All]

We'll buy your stuff for sure. But we expect you to pay your workers a wage equal to our minimum + basic retirement, health care and dental benefits. Or we tax your goods at 150% of the estimated cost of these items.

When I was a kid jeans were made here in California and they weren't that expensive. There were NO homeless anywhere. Now we get really cheap jeans but we have unemployed people with no health care everywhere. America has it wrong.
