Simple trade rule to even things out with the world. Good for all?
Unless every worker associated with the production of a product makes at least an equivalent top the current American minimum wage, that product can't be sold here.

We're probably the biggest consumers on the globe right now... People who wanted to sell here would buck up. It would force 3rd world slave labor based economies to raise the standard of living for their people and level the playing field for American workers pretty quickly.

Give it twenty years or so?


Would it work?
