Given that iphones are assembled in China I find that cover ironic. Not sure about the cover itself though. Iphones are designed and engineered in Cupertino California and almost all the profit goes there too but they weren’t built in the US.

"If you've got a business --- you didn't build that."

Yes, libtards, it was out-of-context. He immediately followed it up with: "Somebody else did." And capped it with "you're not so smart" and "you didn't work that hard." Whoops, better limit the damage and stick with "you didn't build that."

Ironic. A cover that says “Built by US” for a phone manufactured in China.

“Oh my God, why are they $40?” we asked.

I guarantee I can pick one up in Guangzhou next month for about $1.50. :)

Romney campaign selling t-shirts: “I did build that!” and bought my brother in law one.

I think Mitt would have more success with Android users than iPhone preeners.

I can dig that. Of course, there’s also the angle of selling a phone cover for $40 that was probably obtained for $2 or so. Ah, free enterprise... I can get behind that, too!

"See, I don’t think it’s just about justifying confiscatory tax rates, I think it also lays the ground work for asset confiscation/nationalization not unlike those that happen in Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela."

I think you are right. There is already this recurring theme that the rich are not spending, they are hoarding, they aren't doing their fair share, etc. That will lead to a capital assets tax and the beneficent government will take a percentage of your excess assets to redistribute to those who are less fortunate(those who support the regime).

I know, I know. You are correct.

But Zero didn’t say: “You didn’t build that...in the USA.” (l’m sure he’s glad it was not built in the US.)

We’re just working with what Bwock gave us...

I guess “spreading the wealth around” wasn’t strong enough rhetoric for the electorate in 2008...
