Thread: Indian Slave Labor Makes Naked Body Scanners

Not only do these evil "people microwave cookers" get installed at airports against our will, but these companies don't even have the decency to hire Americans to produce them. American stimulus dollars used to purchase the scanners instead get to hire slave laborers in India:

Labor costs in India’s organized
manufacturing sector

Compensation costs in India’s organized manufacturing sector
were 91 cents per hour for all employees in 2005; this amounted to
about 3 percent of hourly labor costs in the U.S. manufacturing sector,
but was above BLS estimates of labor costs in China

This in a nutshell is the problem with the so called "global economy!" The US ALWAYS loses because we cannot possibly compete with China or India (or for that matter, the rest of the third world) in the manufacturing sector when these countries have no wage/labor laws and pay their workers slave wages! The factory owners get mega wealthy while the rest of the country lives in abject poverty!

The playing field is not level and is resulting in our standard of living being reduced because of lack of opportunity and wage deflation. Meanwhile, traitors like the Clinton's who push for this globalization BS continue to live like royalty while holding public office!
