But even if we do, so what? Prices could be even lower if they just imported 10 year old bangladesh orphans to work for 25 cents an hour. or if they didn't have to pay taxes.
I hope your right Jim. If they keep breaking the law, and they keep getting hit with huge verdicts at some point they will pass on the cost to consumers, lose their pricing advantage and will then be on an equal footing and compete fairly with buisness' that don't break the law.

My kid's friends who work at Wal-mart says they are hiring so many illegals they have to hold employee meetings in Spanish now. Considering the fact they got bad publicity for this a few months ago, it just shows me the gall of these guys by continuing to do it. They have in effect, become a country not a company, and are acting like some new nationality. I hope they get their asses sued off til they bleed.
