Claims representative Jesse Jackson Jr.
While it’s not a secret that yours truly isn’t a big fan of the iPad, that’s as far as he is willing to go. However, representative Jesse Jackson Jr. recently said that the iPad is at fault for loss of many US jobs, which really makes us look meek in criticism.
Speaking in the Congress, Jackson said that the practical aspect of the iPad made Borders close stores and renders Barnes & Noble obsolete. Apparently, Jackson thinks that downloading newspapers, magazines and books to your iPad is ultimately detrimental for the economy.
Jackson argued that the freshman class of Chicago State University in his district is not even using textbooks. Instead, they’re all given iPads. Jackson inquired as to the fate of publishing companies, bookstores, librarians and the paper industry in general. He suggested that these jobs will soon no longer exist but judging by Mister Jackson’s perception of the culprit, we’re somehow confident he’s more worried for the rolling paper industry.
“Steve Jobs is doing pretty well”, Jackson said and continued “He’s created the iPad. Certainly, it has made life more efficient for Americans, but the iPad is produced in China. It is not produced here in the United States. So, the Chinese get to take advantage of our First Amendment value — that is to provide freedom of speech through the iPad to the American people. But there is no protection for jobs here in America to ensure that the American people are being put to work.”
After seeing the iPad becoming a big “success”, I can confidently say that many people didn’t read Emperor’s New Clothes when they were kids. The device is extremely overpriced for what it offers and most of the cash pays for vanity and immeasurable quantities such as lifestyle. Naturally, most don’t care.
The best part of Jackson's rant is that we can finally say that we’re only directing mild criticism towards the iPad. If you don’t think what we've just said qualifies for ‘mild criticism’, then hop over here and read Jackson’s transcript.
We're getting closer to the point where the gummint has to take down Apple.
See: Microsoft, AT&T and Standard Oil.
And the stock market is down 2% as I write. Any correlation?
Jesse is partially right. The Internet that was invented by Al Gore has resulted in Millions of jobs leaving the USA as computers have made it possible for hard working citizens of the world to compete for jobs with US companies.
Our US companies have moved their jobs overseas to avoid Unionization, Taxation, EPA, OSHA, DOL and many other government organiztions that drive up the cost of doing business in the USA. Sad thing when American is not a nation of TAKERS and not workers. We have far too many folks living on the handouts and that is a result of people like Jesse Jackson JR and SR.
Yes the Ipad has helped to create the possibilities of people in other parts of the world doing the jobs that were once American.
Welcome to Obummer’s world.
He ought be worried,, in a few decades , we may finally realize we don’t need politicos&elitists in DC anymore either.
Jackson also doesn’t appear to realize that a lot of publishers are outsourcing their printing to China, too.
If the manufacturing was done in the USA, I am sure he would be delighted to picket their plant(s) with a big sign... tax the rich.
But there is no protection from job killing Libtards, with their excessive regulations, high energy costs, and punishing taxation, for jobs here in America to ensure that the American people are being put to work.”
Minor edit for you there Jesse. Hope you don’t mind.
And its the jeapordy of his “future” that’s at stake !!
Clumsy con men like the “esteemed reverend”, have a great deal to fear from the rapid, accurate and pervuasive dissemination of accurate information on their activities.... >PS

Is Mr. Jackson, jr., not worried about the poor trees that are sacrificed to support those industries? Heartless! Doesn't he know that ink is a petroleum product? Is he in favor of destroying the planet? Wait until Obama hears about this. He will be in serious trouble!
Scary. A complete simpleton.
Jesse no longer a Algore disciple. Forget going paperless to save forests ... Jesse denies global warming.
Well, it is true that all the keyboard manufacturing workers have lost their jobs because of this tabletmania!
Whoops, sorry for that other link.
So True!!!! This guy has a lot of nerve piping up after joining in with the lot that is taking my home state of Illinois down! Loser loser loser!!!! He is just one of the many reasons why Illinois is in the toilet!! Go away Jessie Loser Jr!
