How Different Are Special Economic Zones And Red Light Areas?

Special Economic Zones have been in the news almost as much as Paris Hilton and Homer Simpson after his recent success with The Simpsons Movie.
So have prostitution dens, brothels, dance bars and Red Light Areas in general.
Come to think about it.
Both rely on cheap labor from the the economically backward classes.
Both are near tax-free.
Both don’t follow labor laws that apply in the rest of the country.
Both are promoted, powered and operated by a handful of powerful men.
Both benefit a handful of powerful men.
I remain a shameless capitalist.

Dont go to Goa! This must be the most run down resort in the world,Garbage everywere,Beaches are unclean.Taxis charge what ever they like.30 Brititish touristists die there every year.The government of Goa is one of the most corrupt in the world,and is generally anti forreiner…Maleria and dengue fever is at epidemic proportions particulary in the North,Candolim and Calangute .Is now not a cheap destination and sure to dissapoint.Rivers are polluted above normal limits with e coli.The famous Goan smile masks a devious methed to extract your money or if u r female your dignity as well.Infrastucture is basically zero since no money is pumped into tourism,I could go on,but this resort(I use the word loosely)should be boycotted until they get their act together
Dont Go
