Competition is fine but jobs need to be kept here if possible, right?

Then lower the taxes and reduce the regulations that have made the US a stupid place to invest. This article is just missing the point, much less being written by an insane person.

Operative word is: Possible. Right?

Given the miriad of tax, environmental and every other kind of crap American businesses, large businesses, trying to compete in a global marketplace have to deal with, can you blame them?

Hell, Apple wants to repatriate tens of BILLIONS of dollars back to the US. Gubments response: Pay up suckers.

So they keep their money off shore. Sounds to me like they’d like to put some of those dollars to work here, but Zero said no. So what does Apple do? Open a plant in Brazil.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in fact it is not possible. Steve Jobs explained to the president, why it isn't possible to build the iPhone, of course it went right over his head as I it would yours no doubt.

Do you have an American made Phone? Thought not.
