Agreed David, but it can't be helped, I'm guessing here, but at least 98% of everything you consume comes from that labor somehow. Maybe indirectly, but it does. Maybe the car you drive was made here in the US, but was all parts of it? And the machines to make those parts, were they made here as well? Our society allows it to happen, and it's nothing one country or government can take on, a lot of those sweatshops are in communist countries.
