This won't be a popular comment. One of the things people fail to realize is that the lower wages given to foreign workers in other coutries are living wages for those economies. In other words the workers are fine with it. They are not being abused by the corporation.
Also keep in mind that the company is producing product there because it is cheaper. That allows them to sell it cheaper. They may or may not make any more profit. They may simply stay in business. If you are the highest priced manufacturer of an item without a dramatic quality difference people will not buy your product.
Are there shipping costs and import taxes etc to pay when making things in a foreign market? Absolutely. But just because there are more bills to pay when making a product internationally doesn't mean it is more expensive. Take the following math problems. 5+6+7=18, 6+3+2+3=14. Just because there are more numbers to add in the second doesn't mean that it equals more than the first.
Bottomline: Making the same product for more than your competition is a great way to go out of business. About the only way to make a product cheaper (until people started going hungry) was to move production oversees. CEO's that do it aren't being cold heartless bastards that wish ill on their American employees they are simply doing whatever they can to make sure their company doesn't fold. Their super high salaries and bonuses are another story, but keep in mind that they are being rewarded for the company still being in business (and usually turning a profit). It isn't as easy to run a mega corporation as some people would like to believe.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
