    Yes ... exploitation is ugly and evil wherever it happens ... child labor and sweatshops are not acceptable here and rightly so ... unfortunately most American shareholders are 'blinded' to what happens overseas by the obscene profits these companies make for them each year.

    God bless you! I have never given this idea enough thought, but you have a great take on this!

    Why not restrict companies into keeping American labor standards? The only person that would feel a difference is the rich, president of the company (who doesn't ever take a pay cut anyway)

    When companies were run in Chicago, New Jersey, Pittsburgh and White Plains, many Americans had jobs that afforded them the luxury of "a life". Owners looked out for only themselves and sent work overseas to save money..not for the company, not for the employees, but for their own greedy pockets!

    It would not be necessary to raise the prices of products that drastically once they returned to American labor teams. Customers are spending less now due to unemployment or underemployment. If we cannot afford products at this price, they must be too high for the economy already! Let's get back to reality and hold prices to a level where the customer CAN afford. Then, once the economy and the company improve, gentle increases can appear.

    No, I don't live in a dream world. The customer can afford athletic shoes and the fatass owner of the company can produce more shoes in America LEGALLY and MORALLY.

    Customer = WIN

    Owner = WIN

    No. US Sovereignty only extends to US Embassies in foreign countries. The law of the land should reign supreme.

    Yes.

    I also think these corporations should be taxed heavily for not hiring United States workers.

    We need to put an end to the practice of outsourcing jobs overseas.
