71. EVERY FUCKING PRODUCT SOLD IN AMERICA IS MADE THIS WAY! Reality check time!
Edited on Tue May-10-11 05:39 PM by Atman
You shop at Wal Mart? Target? Do you own a flat-screen tv or a countertop convection oven? Do you own a Spalding basketball or a pair of tennis shoes? A bicycle? The computer you're ranting on? You're just as "guilty" as those iPad buyers! Get over your freakin' selves! Or at least, explain a way around it...tell us how to buy a phone or a television or even fucking melamine-laden BABY FORUMULA without having to buy indirectly from outsourced jobs and Chinese slave labor?

Consumers didn't choose this. Americans are stupid, to be sure. They love Wal Mart. But if Wal Mart hadn't set the mark, if the Government hadn't given corporations the go-ahead via tax incentives to move all our jobs to China, what would have happened? Oh, yeah...we'd have jobs here in the United States.

Fuck this Apple-bashing. It has nothing to do with Apple, and everything to do with our country's tax code. The only reason Microsoft doesn't make all its shit overseas is because Microsoft doesn't actually make anything...MS is just a huge office with CD/DVD duplicators. Get off your computer high-horses already. Confront the real issue...America's trade/tax policies.
