<< Apple uses asian sweatshops

Those sweatshops are in China and operate with the blessing of the Communist Chinese government. As we all know, communists are all about what's good for the worker.

The Koch brothers are worth over 40 billion and still that is not enough for them.
Koch industries employs over 50,000 people in the US alone. nearly all paid above the local average wage. Would those people be better off without Koch? Would the customers who buy their products be better off without them. Would the states and local govts be better off without the tax revenue they generate? Look at all sides of the issue.

If you want to attack a greedy rich bastard, tell us what you think of George Soros.

Apple uses asian sweatshops
I saw a recent TV special on that plant. They interviewed several workers who were complaining that the govt was limiting the overtime that they could work, they were so oppressed that they wanted more. Must all be masochists.
