too rich?

You see, given how economics works, I can't see how you can put all the blame on corporations who use slave labour. Yes, they are bad; that is a problem. However, given that these companies are exposed on a daily basis, the consumers share some of the blame for buying from these companies. Nobody is being forced into buying from the company that uses slave labour; there are companies out there that build stuff and pay their workers well.

This isn't only a problem on the corporate-political level; there is a cultural problem with consumers as well. Most consumers don't give two fucks about whether their products were made by slave labour or not. Until that attitude changes, not much else will.

You're right, that's part of the problem. Right now, though, it's virtually impossible, for example, to buy a lot of products that aren't produced in some third world sweat shop. This is because of corporate evolution: the idea was so profitable that only the companies that used it survived. It's even worse when you're broke. My boyfriend and I both despise Walmart, but we don't have enough money to afford shopping elsewhere. I know we aren't the only ones like that.
