surrounded by fences with guards... not to keep us in, but to keep other people who want our jobs out

I didn't realize that those countries had national holidays for that

the workers were "protected" by the fences with guards and they only left once a year, at Chinese New Year, and others would line up to take their places.

Isn't that a marvelous system? (in my best Mitt voice)

line. What would he do with foreign policy with that kind of naivete?

to meet a lot of businessmen traveling from the UK and US to look at manufacturing operations in China. These tours were often paid for by the govt., which was looking for to crank up Chinese manufacturing. Many of the business men just came for the free tour. They considered those who set up shop in China as rather low class and referred to them as "bottom feeders." From this I realized the those who were doing the offshoring like Romney, did not reflect the standards of the Western business community, which is not known for its high ethical ideals. But Romney did not aspire to even these.

Ship Ivory Coast citizens to the USA where the "jobs" where?
