That doesn't make sense. You can't go to Best Buy or Apple store and offer to pay $600 for a product that is listed $300. The only way to protest is to not buy the products at all, boycott until Apple manufactures their products HERE, where American workers can benefit. And yes, then we would be paying double, but only then. If Apple and other companies doubled their price now, either Apple or FoxConn would be keeping the additional profits. The manufacturers would be give their employees the same low pay, the work conditions would stay the same.
