I mean, think about it...every day on the news we see opinion pieces extolling the moral justness of sub par wages and substandard working conditions. People and businesses clamor to attach their names to productive sweatshops and the worst illegal labor violations, there are committees which hand out citations to the most cruel and usory of sweatshop operations and labor law violations...so we can know who these great americans are. When we discover them in our midst, they're universally loved and respected for their involvement with such morally just endeavors, and news broadcasts hound them constantly for an opportunity to praise them for their efforts and ethics.....................And why not??? do you not understand without these goods and services 2/3rds population of this planet that live off of slave wages would starve and die? Where do you think the money to feed these people would come from otherwise?
Oh I know we'll tax the 1% to 99% of their income and the 1%-ers can pay for everything
Or do you not understand your blessing on slavery is granted when you continually buy products slaves produce? you may want to pretend that you maintain your moral high ground, but when black friday rolls around and a big box store is door busting a 65" next gen HD tv for less than 200 dollars, no one can say no, or better yet no one is boycotting produce meat or dairy coming out of central/south America. Doesnt anyone remember you are not supposed to have access to the same fresh fruits and vegetables year round? That's why we canned and froze them for so long.
You can pretend that you are better but where you spend your money says differently. So either you are a 'bad person' or we condone this type of slavery, and that is why it gets renamed. Not to mention their is a real need on both sides for this. If we just owned our deeds and stop covering them up, we could regulate slavery so that it would not have to be an all bad thing.

The problem little miss doesn't thinks she wrong, is that without owning your immoral behaivor/Changing your immorality to judtify your actions, you are making it ok to literally do the things you yourself claim is immoral!
How can you not see that?

Statement withdrawn.. oh wait no, that's the same point I just made to you!
