i am appalled that so much of our offshore production is being done by sweatshops not much different than what we had to overcome in this country ( and still have not entirely eradicated).

Sadly, the history so marvelously captured and reported by Hines and others in the US, and others in Britain, is not being taught, and most people find it only via the internet.
Thus many voters today do not understand the dangers of right work states, or the steady push of the Corpocracy against fair wages and working conditions.
Let us not forget that it was the Northern mill owners who moved their fabric production to the Southern states so they could save much money by paying very low wages after a movement for better working conditions was begun in the North.
