“Yeah, its better to use overseas slave labor camps so we can save $20 Bucks on a phone, and some greedy Billionaire can add to his fortune.”

As opposed to the alternative, which is to give welfare to factory workers and bill it all back to the rest of the taxpayers and consumers? There is no difference between that and them just signing up for welfare as it is, except that the factory workers feel better about themselves while the rest of us take it in the rear again.

Sure, factory work and welfare are really the same, except for the fact that the factory worker, you know, works.

Most of the additional pay would come from Apple, not consumers: Apple's margins are around 40%.
