99. Wonder where all those shoes get made?
The problem isn't with the women buying shoes. The problem is with the greedy companies that charge 100 to 300 dollars for shoes they paid some worker 2 dollars a day to make.

If all these women stopped buying shoes what would happen to all those jobs making shoes?

You know what,I would bet the average westerner in an affluent country spends more money on just about everything, food, water, perfume, gerbils, whatever, than people who make 2 dollars a day.

This seems like a pointless way of arranging facts that seems to blame women buying shoes for the economic ills of the world.
