I am still amazed that there is no outrage by the MSM and progressives that most of Apple products are made overseas. Where’s the union protests? Where’s the progressive indignation? Why is the Food Stamp President not slapping tariffs on Apple products? Where is the MSM questioning the Chineese paying slave wages for Apple production workers?

Even worse for liberals: Apple gets non-stop promotion on the Rush show.

Uh, most tech companies make their products overseas. As for Apple, all their A5 cpu chips are made in Austin. That's in Texas. I passed by there recently, where my daughter lives.

“Foxconn, ... actually makes the devices for companies such as Apple, Amazon, Dell, HP, Motorola and several others.”

This article says it all in one sentence.

“The worst part of American workers essentially being stupider, slower and lazier than our counterparts in foreign countries is that the entire supply chain for most finished products is now on the other side of the world.”

It’s not just Apple, most tech companies do the same. Are we to slap tariffs on all of them? We have to change our government, schools, and tax practices before these companies build here.

Apple is a politically-correct product that all of the folks in the media use, and show off to their pals that they are the first to get.

They also buy all the right Democrats. the latter, of course, being by far the most important. Welcome to our brave, new, world.
