What Apple would have to do to comply with Donald Trump's American-built mandate

Communist/Socialist drivel.Wanna know the real socialists are?
The multi-billion $ companies who the government subsidizes with our middle class tax dollars because they don't pay enough for their workers to survive, who ship the jobs overseas, who don't pay taxes ass they pretend to be based in Caymans or Ireland, and then use the extra billions BUY our government.
That’s what he have right now and it's called CORPORATE SOCIALISM.
Right now profits have never been higher compared to wages lower in ALL OF US HISTORY. EVER.
Right now 99% of ALL the money being given to the candidates for the 2016 election is given by 158 families. BILLIONS upon BILLIONS.
And if it wasn't worth it for Billionaires to donate and BUY our politicians (BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS of DOLLARS) they wouldn't be doing it.
Period.

We conservatives are doing our best to stop this maniac, but we're probably going to have to destroy the GOP to do it, so...buckle up.
What we have now is an oligarchy or as I like to call it, CORPORATE SOCIALISM, and it's caused by billionaires BUYING our government, taking it all and screwing everyone else. You conservatives are selling our country to the highest bidder (see Citizen's United as one proof) and throwing the middle class into the ocean. I AM buckled up.
If you're so anti-government and want the poor, who take FAR LESS in welfare than the rich do, to be able to afford to live, pay Federal taxes, and not rely on gov't subsidies, than make the rich pay for once. -

tralalalalalala said:The poor and lower middle class who have been left out of the economy for the past two decades due to globalist elites might still be worth supporting. (note: all wealth gain has gone to the top 1% in the US since the 1970s) Because our current system (and that proposed by the dems) is that it is better to not have a job than have a job that you don't want (one reason the dems voicing support the US economy losing 2 million people in the workforce due to the affordable care act), it could be an improvement to actually raise costs and reduce taxes. Consider: walmart pays their workers next to nothing because of the tacit agreement with the elite that their workers will be subsidized an additional $18 or so from our taxes in the form of earned income tax credits (for example). tl;dr: We could raise costs and lower taxes and improve the quality of life for Americans. Is it worth propping up the anti-human right Chinese govt. with our innovative technologies and growing their economy while our 99% suffer? -
Donald Trump promises to make Apple manufacture in US instead of China
macky the macky said:When Apple tells Foxconn to turn on the production lines for a new product, Foxconn can hire 27,000 industrial Engineers in less then a month, and have them on site and working in days after they are hired. That would be an impossibility in the U.S. It would take months even a year or more to pull that off here. And it's that surplus of trained engineers and their desire to do whatever is needed (live in a dormitory, eat fish heads, have no social life, etc.) that separates Chinese workers from USA workers...
USA engineer wants to relocate their family, study the local schools, find a house to buy, negotiate a moving fee, and a process that goes on and on... The Chinese engineer is interviewed on Monday and is hard at work on Tuesday. End of bullshit. The USA hasn't seen that kind of ability to build up production instantly since WWII. -
