There is a Catch 22 situation here - if you don't buy shirts that were originally produced in a sweat shop where people are treated like sub-humans, than that sweat shop will go out of business, and the people there will starve - even worsening their condition...

There are may Catch 22 situations out there.  Here in America, people constantly complain about the Mexican population sneaking into the States, taking jobs, etc.  These people want to work!  I've suggested for a long time now that if we don't want the Mexican people doing this, we should find some way to repair their own infrastructure - their own economy.

Another Catch 22 situation - as the economies in the Third World Improve, there may be less money in the richer countries as the economic imbalance levels out.
