Comment on An S.O.S. in a Saks Bagparent

Americans just love moralizing and pointing their fingers at other countries for the exact same things they do.

I guess the issue here(why you're being downvoted) is that what is described in the letter and in other accounts of prison factories in China is nowhere near prison labor here in the US.

Well, that, and we DO find it morally reprehensible as a people, and when we find out about this kind of treatment (I'm from Philly, the kids-for-cash thing was a huge bit of horrible here) the perpetrators are prosecuted.
