Corporate “America” is more about stealing American sovereignty and wealth for the few than enhancing it for the many. When it comes to the multi-national corps I look at them as traitors and thieves who will enrich their top dogs first and screw America second. It has been a 40 year pattern and I care not to hear the reasons. The only reason is greed not country.
I have lost all respect for the so called corporate America because it does not represent either the owner/shareholders or the USA. It represents CEOs and greed.

Nor can the US economy compete against said wage arbitrage.
GOOD.
This time next year, they'll all be laid off.
lol.
Competition is so evil. Is that the point?
How about blaming high taxes and over regulation?
And how many jobs has the guy who invented the ATM cost?
Sigh. We live in a time when any nosepicker can blurt out a brain fart and its held up as critical thinking. It's the attack of the energy wasters.
Well you know what? I don't see anyone picketing over the number of sandwiches Apple employees ate in the last twenty years that could have fed the hungry in Africa, either. I mean think about it - these are some of the welathiest, most coddled employees on the planet. And they couldn't spare a their measly sandwiches to save the lives of women and children in poverty with darker skin than they have who are completely cut off from anyone paying for their birth control?
Corporate pigs.
Hiring foreign engineers is a sensitive topic in South Korea, where the big conglomerates are expected to provide jobs for the country's workers. While unemployment is currently just 3%, the jobless rate for recent college graduates is about 8%.
Somebody at Business Insider is gonna have to do a really convincing explanation to make me believe this one...
Dumb article.
Counting the government and postal service layoffs... Apple saves the taxpayers about 4 billion a year.

You forgot the buggy whip industry.
I so love how they feed on their own. The Rats are like a roving band of mad dogs, snarling and fighting, the pack turning on one of its own at any moment.
Typical b.i.-blog crap. I don’t know why FReepers ever cite to this fish-wrap.
Stupid article by an Apple-hating “reporter”. There is some truth to Apple’s claim of creating many secondary jobs. Think of the support staff for Apple products in schools. Then there’s Starbucks - lots of barristas employed because of all the Apple owners flocking there for the wi-fi access and caffiene. My older daughter used to be a barrista and superviser at a Starbucks, she made huge tips from the customers with Apple laptops. She then worked at a publishing firm, all Apples there. Now at a biotech firm, lots of Apples and iPhones - many jobs indirectly created by Apple.
You forgot Timex.
I received my new iPhone 4s just 3 days ago, so I guess I should start feeling ‘iPhone guilt’ right along with my White guilt and my financially solvent guilt and, and, and.......
