I mean that many of the products we use are produced in communist China in factories that basically employ slave labor.

A recent study shows that the average monthly income of 70% of business workers in Mainland China is between 800 yuan (US $97) to 2,500 yuan (US $302), with the senior management staff earning three to 15 times the salary of the average enterprise worker. The report also shows that more than 70 percent of the Chinese enterprise workers are satisfied with their salaries, and the most unsatisfied are the employees of state-run enterprises.

So the workers at this Apple plant are making close to wages, contrary to Joeworld belief, and if the survey is to believed are more than likely happy with their jobs. But what the hey, let's force Apple to pay them $2000-$3000 per month. That will really help the local economy....Who's with me for setting up the boycott?
