In response to  Haley Bannon:
Haley Bannon posed the question "Is it unethical for us to be supporting these companies knowing the prices they are paying to hard working employees?"

 I do believe that this is unethical to have such a difference in the cost of a product to what the product is sold for. Not that this is an excuse for what the corporations are doing but the economies of scale are probably different in those countries. This does not account for the poor conditions in which the workers there are possibly subjected to. It ties in with corporate social responsibility; both at the level that the corporations are not supporting the economy which their customers reside in and are not really improving the area around where the outsourced factories are. Do you think that corporate responsibility should extend to the community where the outsourced work is?
