Id get into this debate, but its been done a million times before.

Heres the cliffnotes of how it goes though, roughly:

* So is minimum wage ok then?

* Why cant a minimum wage person invest all their money into a startup? Why do they have to be a accredited investor?!?

* Why cant I just open up a payday loan place that charges 900% interest? Theres no other payday loan places around and poor people willingly will use it!

* What about prostitution, nobody is forcing them to do it?

* Alright then, Should we let poor people sell their organs? Again, nobody is forcing them to do it!

Cliffnotes: Just because someone will 'willingly' do something, or doesnt have any better options, doesnt make it just or moral. You setting up a 'consulting' company in bangladesh that pays people x$ a day to do something is exploiting those people, plain and simple.

Also, as to your phillipine cost- You are completely wrong. The average wage across the majority of regions in the country is under $10 per day. This is where (see my first link below) most shops get setup, obviously.
