Min wage is better than no job.

Sweat shops are bad, but it's better than starving or turning to prostitution, no? It's not like every sweatshop in China kidnaps people and forces them to work. They work there because it's their best bet. If they raise wages in sweatshops, it wouldn't be worth having factories in China and therefore they wouldn't exist and the people would be unemployed..

Sweat shops = bad. No sweat shops = worse.

Wal Marts = bad. No Walmart = worse.
