You're out of your mind. Nike shoes that sell for more than $100
actually cost less than $5 to make. The $95 difference is going into
the pockets of wealthy speculators and corporate management and not
into the pockets of consumers. Get a clue.

YOu are talking about 'slave labor' since the only reason for
outsourcing is because corporations don't want to pay Americans a
living wage and they can get away with enslaving foreign workers. Not
only get away with it - our govenment actually encourages it by
offering tax benefits.
