Let’s see. Your I-Phone is manufactured in China using the local slave labor (Americans are too stupid to be able to manufacture a phone) and the software for the I-Phone is designed and written by H1-B employees from India, Pakistan, etc. (Americans with design, code, QA, etc. degrees can be gainfully employed at Burger King) and the I-Phones are sold here in the US as US products??????
Iphones are manufactured on K-street by lobbyists.
Apple has used their clout to get whatever they want. Ultimate cronies. I wonder though how much it would cost to run a similar manufacturing plant in the US as used in China.
Most business isn’t in the crony business with DC. They are doing what they have to in order to survive.
Lower taxes, ease regulations and they’ll expand in the US and hire Americans.
