Well of course, you can't give working class people any money for working, you can only give them a slave-wage. That's why all manufacturing was outsourced to very underdeveloped countries when NAFTA was first put into place.

You can easily get away with exploiting people who have no other choice but to work for a dollar per year, but it's much more difficult to do that to someone's neighbor in their community.
