 My problem with Apple is not with where they make their products, but rather how they hide their obscenely vast profits.  Over the past ten years the total global . . . TOTAL GLOBAL FOR TEN YEARS!! . . . amount of corporate taxes on their hundreds of billions of profits has been in the neighborhood of 100 million bucks.   Look at it this way: When you buy one of their products, the sales tax you pay is 100 times or more greater than the tax they will pay on their profit . . . which is considerable, what with their gross margin of 35%.  Yes, 1 out of every 3 bucks you pony up for your Apple goes into their pockets, and stays there.
Do a little research, and be shocked at their greed.  Even when dead, Steve still jobs you.
