Let's take a look at some of the other arguments on tap here:
1. We can't overlook infrastructure issues or regional stability if we have to pay $18.50/hr but if we can pay only $2/hr, sure, we'll turn a blind eye to that.
2. The only way to increase wages in low-income countries is to decrease wages in the US.
3. Multi-national companies, which by definition operate in many countries, would hire people only in the US if they had to pay the same wages everywhere, even though they supposedly "operate" in other countries. These operations outside the US would happen without any people outside the US.
4. It's ok for the company to get $18.50 worth of work but only pay Nigerians $2 for it, after all if they had to pay $18.50 for $18.50 worth of work, they would only pay that to US men. Why should they pay US Women or Nigerians the full value of that work. Hey, haven't you heard, women are unstable, Nigerians are unstable. They deserve less of the share of the value of the work they produce. For reasons.
