>> If we ONLY had employees willing to live in giant barracks and work for $.36 cents an hour! If we just followed the (R)'s lead, we could have that AGAIN, just as we did in the late 1800's!

No one would suggest American workers should work for $0.76/hour.

Surely, you understand that it makes no sense to compare wage rates in China with those in America.

But there are certainly things our government could have done to bring jobs to the US. The cost differential could easily be computed and if you give AAPL tax credits, they will build factories in the US to build these devices. Money well spent.

There is no reason every major outsourcing company couldn't be offered the same benefit to get jobs that are desirable to come here. Minimum wage is better than no wage.
