Apple makes $40B/year would it be asking to much for them to make their products in the USA? I know that makes me a silly nationalist but WTH?

Try $53.4 billion last year. . . but Apple makes that amount world wide. In fact, central_va, Apple earns about 60% of that amount off shore. Are you going to argue that Apple should make its products proportionally where it earns its profits? If not, why not?

Apple also makes several of its products in the United States, but you don't want those facts to get in the way of your hatred, do you? It also accounts for over one million jobs in the United States. Again, you really don't like facts, do you? Apple has testified before the US Senate they'd LOVE to bring their profits home so they can be invested in the United States, but our confiscatory tax rates, the highest and most irrational in the world, makes it far too expensive to do so. That move would create far more jobs than what you propose, but it has been blocked every time by the Democrats in Congress who cannot see beyond the tax income they'd get if they could force Apple to bring home the money they've earned off shore!

As I mentioned earlier, Apple DOES make some of its products in the USA. The iMac is made in Elk Grove, California, and the Mac Pro is made in Austin, Texas. What other major computer model is made in the USA? Dell hasn't for over a decade. HP? Don't make me laugh. All I hear is crickets from you guys in answer to that question. A lot of the components of the iPhone and iPads are manufactured in the USA. You've been told all of these facts before, just as you were told the facts on the suicides before, so you now know the truth. . . but you continue to spout the lies in these threads. You've done this before. That makes you a serial repeat liar.

You refuse to learn from the factual data. In that you seem to act like a Liberal with the lack of truth in your statements.

It would be better for the USA if Apple made all it’s products in the USA.
