People will complain no matter what though. If for example Apple started manufacturing their iProducts here instead of somewhere in Asia, people would bitch about how expensive the products are now. As a result, less people will buy Apple products. Their stock would plummet; losing millions of people money. Then they'll cut their work force down to compensate. So maybe they'll net a positive # of jobs in the end, but everyone invested in the company will be broke and your average American won't be able to afford their product anymore.
It almost seems like it's worth it to keep some extra coin in your average Americans pocket and keep mass producing iPads in China.
People do bitch about how expensive Apple products are. What planet are you on?
As for people like Sage looking for answers in a world that his family hasn't yet evolved into, the OWS movement makes complete sense when those corporations that gambled on the market got bailed out by money borrowed on the future. That bail out was issued on the assumption that you and your children will pay it off. The people who lost YOUR money will continue to be paid handsomely by YOU future tax income.
I hate it when people, who come from their parent's curtilage of opulence, want to describe middle class problems and the plight of the impoverished. I guess cannonball's folks know what it's like to be a black person in America too. They are very sagelike.
