You should have watched Dateline tonight "Garmet work in Bangladesh". This worker was making 17 cents an hour and figured she could live high on the hog if they raised it to 25 cents an hour. these worker were sleeping at their machines because they worked so hard and long. She thought with this $.25@hr. she could add some fruits and vegetables to her bean and rice diet. What was not aired in the show was the cost and price increase as it passed through everybody's hands till it got to Walmart, because Walmart and the rest wouldn't be interviewed. I heard this crap of we need to do it like the Asians even when I worked for the Fed Gov. The problem isn't the American worker or how much they get paid it's the thieves in between. Our Gov jobs were contracted out to the likes of Lockheed and Halibertan at an increased cost to the tax payer. The American worker will rise to any challenge if their lead. How bout the airlines where the workers are giving up pay and retirements while the CEO and cohorts are giving themselves raises. The stock-market perpetuates what these companies do by trying to improve the bottom line every year which is based on a pyramid scheme, can't happen.
