"Sweatshops" employ people who would otherwise be jobless and out of money. The money doesn't seem much, but it buys a lot in a third world country. Children work in these countries just like children worked in the United States when it was going through the boom of industrial revolution. The reason is because the efficiency of production and labor is small due to political instability, and/or a primitive culture. It seems odd though that the solution to this "problem" is to fight to close down those factories, as if the people who worked there will be free once they are jobless and starving.
"Grass roots" capitalism is nothing more than a cowards way of advocating marxism.
And yet another right-winger chooses to see things in terms of black & white.
Ever consider that *real* *pressure* on the corporations is *often* the only way to make them treat employees (incrementally) better?
Nobody is ultimately interested in shutting down companies, nor do they want "marxism". Try to *see* both sides for a change. Think of it as a tug-of-war, everyone is pulling in *their* direction, and hopefully the rope stays (and readjusts itself) in a place that is the best compromise for all.
