But nooo, our society shuns hand outs.

Give a man a fish and he'll be fed for a day, teach him how to fish and he'll be good for life.

If we give them jobs they'll be at the mercy of us, and we will abuse them. Give them the opportunity to create their own jobs and they could be a great nation.

Their ability to create their own jobs is up to how their government runs society. Don't blame it on the corporations. The corporations do not force them to work at the factories. They work there because they have no other choices. Look at Japan, Look at South Korea. You should go complain to their governments, not complain about corporations. If anything corporations moving into their countries create more opportunity for them. Two corporations demanding the same laborers will drive the pay checks up. I'm sure you know the invisible hand theory and supply and demand.
