There are economists who make a strong case that "foreign exploitation" leads to vigorous economic growth. Would you say that Japan was exploited by liberal American importation policies? Just about all the formerly "exploited" nations now have good economies. Once exploitation stopped, they backslid. i.e. Brazil, Chile, Honduras, Botswana, Ghana, etc.. You cannot pay workers in an economy more than the economic base will allow. If you do you get runaway inflation, which is ruinous to localities. What is paid in all economies is what it costs to live. No more. When I was young in Canada one earned about 12 dollars a day doing labour. But I saved 50% of my pay. Not so today when earning $200 a day is not enough. Was I exploited back then? Yes, but I also exploited my employer as well. EC<:-}

Ralph You wrote:"mining companies running roughshod over the environment " than you brought 2 news releases neither one of which support your claim that TVI damage the environment> I see that some Canadian greeners brainwashed tribal chiefs (who could not understand benefits that local population can get from modern mining project) to organize the protest. "SUR and it has not performed very well now has it?" SUR went from 5 cents US to 61 cents US before drilling single whole in Phil. It is excellent performance "astronomical profits on MIO " Are you some newbie to Mining Juniors? 3x is not "astronomical profits" it is just a promising trend Considering that more than 50% of Juniors will go to Zero Even 10x should not be considered "astronomical profit". "helping the poor french with their plumbing problems " French can not be helped with money their problem is Culture - Welfare Mentality plus Nationalism :French expect Government will take care of them while other nations/cultures not to be seen. "millions of starving Americans" I have not yet seen single starving American. Considering amount of good food Restaurants and Supermarkets trow away and free meals offered I do not expect to see one. "poor workers they exploit in the Philippines"" this is just garbage from socialist text book, it does not deserve any comments You can look up profit margin on any mining project yourself.
