it is not only a responsability of each individual - it is a question of money.
we are living in a world were everyone wants to have everything. no matter if people are rich or poor. even rich people think they do not have enough because they also canīt buy all.
what is wrong when the advantage of cheap labour goes to the society by a cheaper price? a few hunderst years ago prosperity was made with slaves work - i doubt that any citizen of a country with slavery was complaining that the slave took his job.
the funny thing is that prosperity for people is reached EXACTLY with the opposite of what paul thinks. his ideas are directly leading to less prosperity and more poor people. and this is what is not going into his head for some reason.
