> We could try to raise the standards in other countries. Maybe some sort of tax or tarriff on companies that employ people for so little. I mean if you hire a person to work on an assembly line in taiwan and there making just enough to get by but never to improve thier life, maybe force the issue on companies to provide wages and benefits to allow the social mobility that we have here in America. I’m not suggesting trying to make it exactly like the US but put it in the right direction.

So, you’re saying that we should act upon other sovereign nations so that they raise their standards of living to meet our views / opinions?

And you’re a democrat?

wow.
