No, it isn’t. There are a whole bunch of reasons low-skill jobs are disappearing and a portion of the middle class with it.
Name another economic model that has produced a middle class and that has allowed an individual to start with nothing and become wealthy? I’ll not hold my breath since I enjoy living.
While I disagree with you that people are trying to justify destroying the lives of others to make more money, it appears to me your alternative is that Government ought to be the only entity capable of destroying lives - but in your scenario there is no wealth creation nor improvement of living standards. Just soul destroying poverty and bread lines…To which I say:
But it is you who wants the “free market” to run wild. Maybe then we can bring back slavery and child labor.

There is no such thing as the free market".
And those in positions of power do not want competition. Especially big corporations. And this s why they bribe politicians. The corruption starts with them.
No they do not. Why would a corporation pay the wages of Americans when they could pay far less overseas? It nets those who have more than enough more. Because it is never enough. Make sure the majority of the wealth goes to those who need it the least.
This is being recognized by more and more of the population. Hence the popularity of Sanders/Corbyn.
Cheaper labor? So those at the top can make even more money while simultaneously destroying the lives of thousands of Americans. Wow, what a great system. When word to the population gets second hand Co-Ops will become more and more popular fundamentally changing the economy where everyone benefits, not just those at the top.
Child labour is illegal due to children not having the mental capacity to consent under the law. Just like you. Probably why you’re unemployed.
P.S I worked at a child labour factory when I was a child. If I didn’t have that job, my family wouldn’t have had basic utilities for months. Do you know where I would have had to bathe? Using a communal tap on a sidewalk where people drew water to wash clothes.
Is this really what you want?
Why are you now using me for your agenda?
Jesus, zep, you are even lower of a scum than I thought you were.
EDIT: Of course, if Americans wanted to pay for those wages then jobs would stay here. It’s Americans as a whole that don’t want those jobs here.
If Corporation E(vil) could produce widgets for $1.00 each when built in the USA, and produce them for $1.00 each when built in China…producing widgets in China would net less profit due to shipping costs.
If Corporation E(vil) could produce widgets for $2.00 each when built in the USA, and produce them for $1.00 each in China…widgets would still be produced in the USA if consumers were willing to spend $1.00 more/widget for “Made in the USA.”
