if any of them do say something, they are just being hypocritical. All over the world there are kids making stuff - look at Asia.. Indonesia - Americans love cheap products, but they can come at a price.

what America should do is create factories like they have in China and employee Americans to work - I hear we do not have enough skilled laborers for such factories - I smell bull shiite...there are thousands of high school students who could be trained so that when they graduate they have a good paying job in such factory. It takes money to make this happen, but maybe companies have to start thinking about their own country for once and not always about making billions upon billions.

Yep... we all know the "not enough skilled workers" line is just one big long steaming brown line of bull. It's not that there aren't enough skilled laborers in America, it's that that aren't many Americans willing to work below minimum wage. Hell, it's hard enough to make ends meet at minimum wage much less below it.
I see it as a failure of corporate America to adapt to a changing society. Much of the wealth and power came from exploitation of slaves and "indentured servants" aka still slaves, to the Chinese/Irish immigrants building the railroad infrastructure, to legal segregation which only ended a few decades ago, to even now where women aren't on the same pay scale as their male counterparts for the same jobs. Now the only way they can keep their rapacious profit margins is through out-sourcing. Or in-sourcing now, which makes it look like they are creating jobs locally, but in the end, they really aren't.

I'm an apple user, and I'm not about to blast Samsung for what news week revealed years ago was going in these factories. All of them r guilty of this, it's called big business...they all do it bro.

Apple and Samsung profit margins.should allow them to produce their products in US and South Korea respectively. Their greed is the only thing that stop them.
