Interesting. So if I do some back of the napkin math, let's say 50 seats per day x 360 days a year x $3000 a seat (return based upon volume discount) = $54,000,000.

So Apple spends $150 million a year sending employees to Asia.

Maybe they should consider bringing some of that business back to the United States.

It would cost them several multiples of that. Slave labor is much cheaper.

Ansley, I have feeling that a lot of the money people pay for Apple is going into the hands of rich shareholders around the world and upper crust management, not to middle class Americans who would love to have a decent job with reasonable benefits.

Not everyone is a rich shareholder. A lot of 401K funds have Apple stock in them.

Well, couldn't Apple pay a reasonable return on investment without taking its manufacturing out of the country?
