That's another thing... large corporations who went to China as to avoid U.S. taxes and paying U.S. minimum wage. Corporations need to be rewarded for staying in the U.S., but we need to raise the minimum wage at the same time. If more people in the U.S. wanted solar and wind energy, we could lower our CO2 emissions and if more people bought things made in the U.S. that could help too, but it's gotten very difficult to find things that are truly made in the U.S.I have some problems with how this was done, and about the human rights abuses, but generally, I'm fine with corporations going wherever they want. Enforce regulations, but don't regulate location. What has happened is that we (all countries) have raised the standard of living around the world. There aren't that many places to go anymore where you can find cheap labor and no one will check up on you. This is making it difficult for those in the US who want to destroy the middle class, it's getting harder for them to say that they will go somewhere and find someone who will work for less.

And there is the greed- wanting to find people who will work for little to nothing so the corporation can get richer and save money by not paying the workers. Essentially, they want slaves to work for them and slavery is illegal in most countries now days, so corporations come up with a new form of "legal" slavery by paying workers as little as they possibly can, thereby creating "slave wages". Instead of giving them housing (a shack without heat or A/C), one season worth of clothes, left overs of what the higher ups don't wish to eat, and vet services for health care if ill, corporations give the workers so little they can hardly pay for housing, clothes, food, etc. much less medical care (ACA is not affordable, but rather it continues to feed big corporations). The current minimum wage is nothing more than a new form of slave labour, paying slave wages in an effort to make the big corporations richer and the poor poorer.

No it isn't.there are millions if not billions of people in the world who are desperate for a job, even a low paying one. Corporations are not going to run out of desperate people to exploit for a very long time. Why do you think the Western world is suffering an immigration crisis? People are risking their lives and pouring into Western Europe and Australia for the chance to get a job and survive. If there were few desperate people they wouldn't be migrating by any means they can think of. There will be enough desperate people for corporations to exploit for another century, at least, and it could go on for much longer than that. You are living in neverland if you think "it's getting harder for them to say that they will go somewhere and find someone who will work for less." In fact it's getting easier by the day.
There are places in the world where indentured servitude exists, that literally makes persons virtual slaves, for debts that can never be paid off because the work that the person does, all goes to interest on what is owed. The debt is even passed on to relatives after death, thus making those relatives virtual slaves.
