The average worker accepts indentured servitude because they know if they don't their jobs will go overseas to some kid in China working for $5 a day. Corporate America has decided that in the global economy we will compete with third world countries by becoming on. Thus, we have stagnant or even decreasing compensation for workers while CEOs suck up all the increase, and with it the elimination of the middle class which is what made this country great and strong. If it costs an American company 25k to build an suv and a third world country, by virtue of servitude wages, only spends 10k to build the same vehicle, then the third world country should pay a 15k tariff rather than the US decreasing worker pay to match that of the third world country. Which is actually something Trump said he would do, imposing tariffs on third world products. But just how far do you think he'll get with that, having stocked his cabinet with rich people who don't want to share the wealth?
