That's proof that capitalism doesn't work because if it did then everyone would be equal. But Amerikkkans make more money than china by EXPLOITING them under the illusion of free trade.
And it's really horrible that people lose their jobs to sweat shops but did you know that people lose there jobs to people from other states? I think we need to ban innerstate commerce because there is nothing worse than losing a job to someone just because the labor costs are cheaper in montana."
China Is not a good example of socialism their transformation to mixed economics negates that assertion. If you want an example of a socialist society that worked just take a look at the Paris commune.
