iPad responsible for killing American jobs!?!

Darn if technology isn't a job killer. So says Jesse Jackson, Jr.

I guess if we all used horse and buggies to get to work and Henry Ford came along with his car, then Congressman Jackson would bemoan the lack of jobs in the buggy whip industry.

While I wish we could actually make something here in the US, I blame Congress, EPA, OSHA and the IRS for companies moving offshore.

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL), who admits to owning an iPad, blames the Apple Inc. product for "eliminating thousands of American jobs."

"A few short weeks ago I came to the House floor after having purchased an iPad and said that I happened to believe, Mr. Speaker, that at some point in time this new device, which is now probably responsible for eliminating thousands of American jobs. Now Borders is closing stores because, why do you need to go to Borders anymore? Why do you need to go to Barnes & Noble? Buy an iPad and download your newspaper, download your book, download your magazine," Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL, Chicago) said on the House floor Friday afternoon.

Ironically, it was only last month that Rep. Jackson was promoting the Apple iPad and Amazon on the House floor.

I guess he's never heard of PC's, laptops, smart phones etc. They all can do the same thing and usually better than the ipad. :pat:

This actually isn't the Rev. This is his son. You know, the one that dropped on his head one time too many.
