The problem with low wages is that the chinese worker, which is doing the outsourced work, is working whole day, seven days a week for a sallary which barely keeps him alive. Why? So that someone can buy a $5000 suit, live in a house with 27 rooms and 9 bathrooms and with a ferrari parked alongside 15 metre limo. Everyone who is not bitching about this kind of world should seriously think about what is wrong with him.

The problem is just, that the *real money* is not earned by work. Have you ever heard of a company that outsources managment, lawyers, or the marketing staff. They usually have much higher wages than engineers and technicians, so for simple economic reasons a lot more could be saved on outsourcing their jobs to cheaper countries... (I'm sure an Indian or Chinese brain is just as apt to learn the absurdities of western economic law.)

In the end the only way to solve these problems is by consumers: stop buying the crappy stuff assembled abroad - just because it's cheap or because the marketing is good.

Note: I'm not arguing against buying stuff from abroad; just punish those companies that sell crap just to buy their bosses ferraris and fire workers at home.
