THE TRUTH ABOUT APPLE'S FOXCONN WORKERS: They Want To Work MORE, Not Less

[Honeycombe8]

67. The problems in this country are so large, that I can't focuson other countries.

I don't buy Apple products, but that's because I think Apple is a racket more so than its competitors. America can't compete in wages with many other countries. Even if they get a living wage in China or elsewhere, it's still way below America's living wages because the cost of living there is so low.

The best way I can think of to counter outsourcing and such is to stop the tax advantages given to corporations for outsourcing jobs. That's insane.

But all companies go to where labor is cheapest. It's like water finding the lowest level. So there is no electronics company to buy from that doesn't use what we would call slave labor, is my understanding. As Ross Perot explained when talking about the trade agreement with Mexico, which he said was a very bad idea, if your competitors do it, then sooner or later your corporation has to do it, to stay competitive. Perot's company ended up moving some operations to Mexico years later. I voted for Perot. Did you? If you didn't, you missed the best opportunity to stop these trade agreements with other countries. Clinton won and got the trade agreement thru Congress. The rest is history.
