Nor do I believe that the law of US of A should rule supreme over all humanity or else we will boycott them. Nor do I believe that "paying decent wages" is a principle that can be deciphered for each country (or is even worthy of fighting over). All I am asking for is to block the loophole where a company may escape criminal acts by simply relocating to another country while benefiting from US consumers.
