So your solution is to troll here.

Nope. You really think that the US has enough workmanship to produce a Iphone that is payable when produced in the US. And of course ICE has to kick out all these „aliens“😂 too. Geez - what a laugh.

 

This isn’t about trolling.

You simply don‘t seem or want to understand how economics work.

Or who in the US will work for the same salary as the Chinese?

 

NOBODY!

that's a sign that they need to take a long rest. And maybe spend some of time educating themselves so that they wouldn't have to resort to such low tactics.

 

So you want me to get off the internet and upgrade my education?

Sorry, I can't do that.

This doesn’t surprise anyone who noticed the presence of the hyper wealthy at Trump’s inauguration.

 

This administration is paid for and owned by those same hyper wealthy.

 

The rubes who voted for it were suckered… again.

 

Kamala had more billionaire donors than Trump did.

In fact, the Bush administration slashed regulation and oversight of banks and other lending institutions. And of Wall Street as well.

Clinton did that

 

Glass Steagall act repealed by Clinton led to the 2008 crisis.

It certainly was part of it. And it should be pointed out that the name of the bill that repealed it was the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act. All 3 were Republicans. So it was a joint effort.  But as you may recall, the Bush administration just about gave up on policing the banks and wall st.

Apple's manufacturing operations are spread across multiple countries, with the majority of iPhone assembly occurring in China. The primary assembly facility is located in Zhengzhou, China, operated by Foxconn, a Taiwanese company, and is often referred to as "iPhone City" due to its massive scale and workforce of approximately 350,000 employees.

 

That is a loss of 350,000 American jobs!

 

Trump wants them back.

Sure enough that the "robots" will bring back the 350'000 jobs back to the US.

You need people to run a factory of robots and quality control.

Robots play a significant role in the manufacturing and testing of modern smartphones, particularly at large-scale facilities like Samsung's Gumi plant in South Korea. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which roam the factory floor guided by aluminum tracks, transport materials to designated stations, while robotic arms handle precise assembly tasks such as fastening connectors and inserting screws onto partially assembled devices like the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The production process is highly automated, with nearly every stage—from surface mount device assembly to final packaging—managed by machinery to ensure precision and consistency.

Beyond assembly, robots are extensively used in Samsung’s automation lab to rigorously test devices

That's a complex issue for governments.

 

And it's not as simple as "they are protecting their rich buddies".

 

If you tax the ultra wealthy too much, they come up with schemes to hide their money offshore.

 

Or they simply leave the country.

 

There was an article on here where the UK is taxing rich people who leave a 20% exit tax. 

 

Anyway, good luck if you think you have a solution. Because every thing the govt does has an opposite (negative) effect. 

 

 

So let them leave the country. But by doing so, they will also lose their citizenship. Their "immovable assets" become state property. If they want to return to their former home country, they must apply for a Visa. That will stifle their appetite to "leave".

 

Other than that, here is a quote: "There is a war going on, the rich against the poor. We (the rich) are winning". This quote is not mine but originates from WARREN BUFFET. 

Why don't we listen to people like this?

SNAP is a wealth transfer.  Welfare is a wealth transfer.  Social Security is an intergenerational wealth transfer.  How in the world is a lower tax liability for a corporation a wealth transfer from the middle class to the wealthy? 

When massive tax breaks for corporations who are earning record profits are given, it can only translate into a diminished quality of life for the middle class and the less fortunate amongst us. Think about that for a moment.

Maybe those who are able to learn and work, should actually learn something and get a job, then they won't be so less fortunate, waiting for their hand out.

 

The only thing holding people back from being wealthy is their own stupidity and laziness.

 

I'm considered uneducated, on paper and one of the laziest pieces of sh!t I know and yet I retired at 45 ... go figure.
