You should have watched Dateline tonight "Garmet work in Bangladesh". This worker was making 17 cents an hour and figured she could live high on the hog if they raised it to 25 cents an hour. these worker were sleeping at their machines because they worked so hard and long. She thought with this $.25@hr. she could add some fruits and vegetables to her bean and rice diet.

The stock-market perpetuates what these companies do by trying to improve the bottom line every year which is based on a pyramid scheme, can't happen.
