We had this discussion a long long time ago, about paying more for goods so that those making them could earn a better living.

I noted that I usually buy "Made in the USA" stuff, and generally for that reason - because I know that I'm paying a bit more so someone can live a better life. The effect is that less money goes toward supporting companies that exploit cheap labor overseas. It's not much, but it's something everyone can do.

I'm not vehemently against taking work overseas, but I find it disappointing that the higher-ups are reaping fat cash that should be going to the workers.
