29. How is this free trade when industry in the US has to
Edited on Fri Mar-31-06 12:27 AM by doc03
pay for health insurance for it's workers and all our trading partners have government paid insurance. The American steelworker for instance can out produce any worker in the world when we have modern equipment. Just exactly how is it fair we have to compete with slave labor in China and other countries. I've talked to people that built steel mills in China, they have no safety standards, they have no environmental laws, the people work for about 50 cents an hour and they actually live inside the mill with their children playing on ground covered with several inches of iron dust. If you work and your job was outsourced to some third world shit hole maybe you wouldn't feel that way. I find people that have that opinion are on a job that is safe from outsourceing.
