BS. Maybe double to $60/unit labor. Those thing fly off the shelf. US workers are more productive and you can eliminate most shipping costs with on shored manufacturing. Think of the wealth creation with the factory onshored in a R-T-W state. All of the supporting businesses and services. Importing and retailing does not create wealth except for the few.

You really do not know what you are talking about. Really. Not a clue. Do you seriously think that ALL iDevices are sold in the United States? Better than 50% were sold overseas. Secondly, just in dollar value alone, an American factory worker would get at least five times what that Chinese worker gets before we add in benefits which usually are between 30-40% of wages. Sorry, but you are simply wrong. We are talking about 200,000 factory assembly jobs at best and those are being automated as we write these posts.

You are an anti US worker bigot. You want the US to be punished, like Obama. You two are the same in this regard.

And again you devolve to ad hominem attacks and insults. That means your arguments are bankrupt.

Yes, I think free trade is best. . . but so did our Founding fathers. . . between the states they decreed free trade. Not all of Marx's ideas were bad. Just most of them.

So why off shore a robotic factory? Are Asian robots more docile the US robots?
