So you are of the opinion that the country that can put a man on the moon can not, could not produce an i-phone when Apple is an American company. Wow you Free Traitors are humorous lot.
Please, to stop the hypocrisy, go on record as saying nothing should be made in the USA. Taken to it's logical conclusion the snake oil you are peddling comes down to. The drain of the wealth creation in this country must stop. Even though the dividends may go down a tenth.
Ummm ... “some people” think the iPhone costs a bit too much ... as it is right now (now, I’m not saying so, but some do). What you’re saying would make it a WHOLE LOT MORE than it is ... :-) ...
Do you know how much that Moon program cost? ... LOL ... $100 BILLION, and that was back then. It was some 500,000 people from 20,000 companies built the spacecraft, Saturn carrier rocket.
Come to think of it, your suggestion would make the iPhone about FOUR TIMES the price now ... :-) ...
You may want to stop the attacks on Apple, if you were to study the actions of many other "American" companies. Look at Ford for instance. Quite a few overseas plants and production. They hoard a lot of overseas profits, why aren't you complaining about them? In 2000 Ford's cash hoard was the largest of any company in the world ($24 billion). So how many American cars and parts are totally made here in the U.S.A.? The problem for many American companies, including Apple, is our own government. At least Apple is building here and employing people here in the U.S.A., versus most other technology companies.
The Space Shuttle was not 100% American made. Neither was the moon rocket. Try to know what you are talking about. It is impossible for a computer to be 100% American made. Many of the minerals included in a modern computer do not even exist in this country.
You don't know anything about what you are blithering about. YOU go and found a computer company or cell phone company that makes its products in the US and make a profit then come back and tell us how well you are doing. Then we will listen to you. Until then, you don't know what you are saying.
Apple dividends paid this week were 47¢ a share.
