Corporation Firewalls

The GAP Flap, Indian children being exploited for corporate profit, is nothing new to Tilting At Sacred Cows. The most common "dodge" is the use of creating a "firewall" between the unethical, and often illegal, act and the "patron"; in this case a corporation. This blog has stated that farming corporations for years have engaged in using so-called contractors and sub-contractors in order to create a "firewall" between them and responsibility--legally and ethically. Where there is money to be made you will find the use of "firewalls". If anyone would bother to follow the "green-back trail" back from store to sweatshops you will find gross exploitation of human beings. The big surprise to me has been that there has been so few corporations found out. Someone has to be providing all that labor for all the cheap goods that have been pouring into the U.S. and Europe for the last few decades. Women and children are the most helpless and desperate, so are most likely to be exploited.
