We don't have the need for them.  Can you imagine the cost of a phone if 
it was made in USA with our labor rates?  Sales would nosedive and Tim 
Cook would be working a part time job.

One of our biggest customers in the early 1980s was an RCA plant where 
they made picture tubes for TVs.  Yeah, it was fun for a few years. 
That plant is probably an WalMart now.
