8. I made it only as far as that line and I have no idea what it means honestly

Haiti is a poor nation and they make clothing there but it gets sold all over the world not just in the US. And none of the "job stealers" are getting rich sewing undershirts. How does that fit into your theory?

Here's another: Why are patent medicines 10x higher priced in the US? (Answer: because pricing is adjusted to whatever the local market will or can pay). If Americans had the same access to foreign goods that multi-national corporations do then prescription meds would be 8 to 10x less expensive here. Labor has little to do with it. Prices are set as high as they can be and production is done as cheaply as possible. Give Americans more credit and prices go up. Cut off the credit and you get a slump.
