It's called "Trickle Down Theory" eh Bob.

The "haves" say "buy our products, give us money, we'll pass it on".

The "have nots" see it as being peed on from ever-greater heights
if the company profits never make it past the fat cats

So, what happens if you buy a product made in a "3rd World"
economy, especially if it's not that much good, but you can't
resist a bargain. Who are you supporting - the multi-national
or the workers who made it ? By buying that item, are you
encouraging the manufacture of shoddy merchandise, or doing
your bit to give the workers a leg up ?
