Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
What businesses can get away with is driven directly by our consumption of their goods and services.....While we may not condone such activities, if we give a corporation our money, we have some responsibilities for their action......If we take away our money, we take away all their power.....Supply and demand in the marketplace governs how corporations will act....
And here we go- blame the US because we are after all, responsible for all other nations moral ethics, standards and code of conduct.
These goods could be made here for the same price to the consumer, but the SHAREHOLDERS demand higher DIVIDENDS and the CEOs demand higher BONUSES, so costs are cut where the costs are highest: the workforce.

Say 0.20 an hour in pay so this is about 0.13 cents...In the US this same amount of labour would be over 7.00......So I can not see 15.00 jeans at Old Navy still being 15.00 if made in the USA.....
