Slave labour??? Come again?

As for cheap labour; it is due to the costs of living being much lower in India or China then the West. A person in India can afford to pay rent, provide food and clothing for say 4000 Rupees a month (which is about a $100). Can you do that with a $100 in the US? As far as I know, don't think so. You must take into account the costs of living.
