The way I see it, corporations are playing two different tunes to two different audiences.
They'll cry foul about not being able to price themselves highly in first world nations and price low in second and third world nations, and at the same time complain bitterly that they can't just buy all their goods and services where the market has them at their cheapest.
If they want to go the free trade route, it should be all the way, identical prices for identical goods at different locations, if the cost of living decreases at the same time as the wage and the entire global community gets to a happy standard of living, this can only be a good thing.
With the blatant unchecked hypocrisy of free trade currently in process though, it seems supremely unlikely that any such thing is liable to happen in the near future.
Bummer.
