This is coming from a Britt ex-pat who moved to Eastern Europe so he could shoot cheesy porn with less costly models?

As a matter of fact -- we have the largest number of French webcam models that are in France, a Western European country I might add.

The majority of our customers are in Western Europe.

America and particularly my local community benefits from my personal spending here.

And no, I don't create any jobs here in America. Firstly Americans have priced themselves out of many lower value occupations. Americans expect lowered prices and can only find them with foreign made goods usually -- the exception being high ticket durable items and critical infrastructure and production items.

I drive an American made car, buy American (or EU) made tools when I can (read quality not price), pay USA taxes (so I pay for the right to be critical -- you don't). But my consumer electronics are mostly Asian made (can't avoid that these days).

I just bought a GE Dishwasher, Delta faucet set -- they are both assembled in America with American and foreign made components. Even American made products have imported contents these days.

On the contrary side, I will be in Europe for a couple of weeks spending some of my earnings in Europe -- I am visiting Romania too. Apart from that; the webcam industry is one of the largest foreign currency earning industries in Romania with it employing an estimated 40,000 Romanians.

So tell me, how is that more exploitive than getting models for static and video shoots in the cheap in Eastern Europe as you have?

As I am an American Citizen, if I have an opinion or wish to express political sarcasm on American politics; I am qualified and you are not.
