Default 16%.....much less if you take away the slaves

Dubai or Dubayy is par tof the united arab emerites and is hardly a model of anything but how one can attain great economic gains by using slave labor...in short truth bringer is cheering for slavery.

THen there is the issue of unregulated banks acting as money launderers for the international drug cartels in Southeast Asia....hmmm how much of that growth comes from that I wonder!

current situation: the United Arab Emirates is a destination country for men, women, and children trafficked from South and East Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East for involuntary servitude and for sexual exploitation; an estimated 10,000 women from sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, South and East Asia, Iraq, Iran, and Morocco may be victims of sex trafficking in the UAE; women also migrate from Africa, and South and Southeast Asia to work as domestic servants, but may have their passports confiscated, be denied permission to leave the place of employment in the home, or face sexual or physical abuse by their employers; men from South Asia come to the UAE to work in the construction industry, but may be subjected to conditions of involuntary servitude as they are coerced to pay off recruitment and travel costs, sometimes having their wages denied for months at a time; victims of child camel jockey trafficking may still remain in the UAE, despite a July 2005 law banning the practice

the UAE is a drug transshipment point for traffickers given its proximity to Southwest Asian drug-producing countries; the UAE's position as a major financial center makes it vulnerable to money laundering; anti-money-laundering controls improving, but informal banking remains unregulated

How big an issue is slavery? Lets look at housemaids. It is estimated that 300000 work in Dubai which accounts for 20% of the workforce....so no wages, prostituted, abused and if the complain killed or deported....hmmm once again one has to wonder how much of that 16% comes from the use of slaves rather then paid workers. Now I know that the right has no problem with wage slavery how do you all feel about physical slavery?
