So? This is happening all around the globe. All industries move to cheaper countries. And not only the work force, as in wages, counts you know. There are several fees and taxes the corporates themselves need not to pay in other countries.

And then there is of course several major cultural differences, which (I'm sorry TL) WTO can't take into account. It's not possible for the WTO to tell Asian workers to not come to work an hour earlier than expected.

And if we want a free market the US itself has several things it needs to cut down on, such small things as subsidies and tolls.

But let's face it, the market will never be free. [img]smile.gif[/img]
