Nice strawman argument.
It's not what I'm saying and you know it.
Clearly, you've never run or been involved with running a business, if you have, you'd understand the point she's making.

From what I've heard (and seen) of this woman in the past week, I can say she's despicable... People like this are what's plagued humanity throughout history. Elitist leeches with an extreme case of narcissism; love to control "regular" humans & think their financial status puts them in a position do so with no moral obligation.
Clearly you've never worked for $2 a day
We shouldn't allow a business to do business over seas with sweat shops and bring their goods back here to be sold for enormous profits. Their goods should be taxed at the border enough that their sweatshop labor can't compete with our domestic labor.
What? you say we couldn't afford that stuff if it were made at home? We did at one time because we actually had manufacturing and a real economy. Those people working manufacturing jobs making good money will be spending that money - IN OUR ECONOMY. What a concept!
There is now way around it FREE TRADE means outsourcing labor, manufacturing and a lowering of living standards in first world nations.

And what point would that be?
To see if she can get away with saying wages should be brought down to $2 dollars a day? It is like someone walking into your face screaming profanities at you and then when your about to do the natural thing in response, they go all: "I didn't mean it..etc".
If Rinehart meant something else she should of said something else. She didn't though did she?
