Workers dream of being exploited

Coming on the heels of this Ryan Lizza blurb on how Democrats are using “free trade” as a term of derision in Iowa is this brutal Nicholas Kristof article in the NY Times called “Calling all Democrats”:

[Protectionism] would hurt American consumers. But it would be particularly devastating for laborers in the poorest parts of the world. For the fundamental problem in the poor countries of Africa and Asia is not that sweatshops exploit too many workers; it's that they don't exploit enough.

Hold on...gotta pander to the labor unions first.
