  • Only 2,568 views? These issues need to be brought to the attention of the public even more than it has been; especially to the laziest generations (eg. the ones constantly primping and preening themselves, texting, LOLing, and fucking) the world needs to wake up before it's too late...

  • ...so by our purchases we make our selve implicit in the slave trade.

  • We must end slave labor, NOW!

  • hope is legal

  • The US cannot have a economy with only 9% manufacturing. America will make it as long as we make it in America.

  • This is why all of my holiday gifts will be made in the USA. There are lots of companys that still make great clothing in the US you just have to look.

  • The Milton Friedman flat earthers act like Free Trade is the greatest gift god gave but they always bitch and complain about the affects that it has.

  • Why does this video only have 1500 views? This should be mandatory viewing for anyone who thinks globalism is anything but a scam.

  • @dmat2000 This is Capitalism, you can call it by any name you please. Capitalism is the investment of wealth to produce a return and one of its most important truisms is cost reduction. Wages are a cost. Therefore to maximise return, reduce wages. And no, it isn't about spreading prosperity or democracy. It's all about maximising profit, a concept enshrined in US corporate law. Corporations are legally required to maximise profits.

  • I love you so much Charles! You have changed my life with your words!
