The truth is that something can be done about it.  It has been discussed
before, but (as for usual) all it received was "lip service".

You simply apply an import tax against shipments of goods received from
companies who manufacture their goods in sub-standard (read that to mean
"sweat shops") third world countries, until employee wages (in those
manufacuring facilities) become commensurate with factory workers in the US.
This could work.  However, a major side-effect would be increased costs to
the consumer.

In either case, nothing is "free".
