Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to finish my point. There will always be an argument to look the other way, to get cheaper products by looking the other way when it comes to some of the worst practices in manufacturing on this planet. Of course, it is going to be cheaper to look the other way when workers are being exploited, when intellectual property is being stolen, when child labor is being utilized. It will always be cheaper, but it is wrong. We can do both. We don't have to make the sacrifice of one principle in the name of the other. We can't take the position that for only 24 months, we are going to look the other way, and then we are going to go back to adhering to both of these principles. We can do both. I encourage my colleagues to join me in doing so.”
