Where does capitalism end and exploitation begin? Unfortunately, many people in corporate America only see the laborers in foreign countries getting pennies an hour as an expendable lot to be used at their whim. All the while they make millions for a fraction of a fraction of the work. The assumption that low wages are better than no wages does not take into consideration the fact that many people become, for all intents and purposes, a possession of the factory until their quota is met. Some are chained to tables until their quota is met. And because companies like Nike do not directly employ the workers under contract with the factories they use, Nike assumes no responsibility whatsoever. Calling these actions "business practices" is too kind; reprehensible is more apropos. Brian
