HOW TO EMPLOY A CONVICT THAT TAKES JOBS AWAY FROM AMERICANS
2010 Nearly 1/2 of the world's top branded computers are made by Foxconn.
The company also makes mobile phone for Nokia and Motorola; it makes playstations, laptops, and LCD TVs for Sony; and it makes iPods, iPhones, iPads for Apple. Steve Jobs has a net worth of $6.1 billion.
In China, the average employment income per person, per year, is $4,325. Foxconn exported usd 48 billion products from only 1 factory in Shenzhen. The low-end iPad sells for $499. If it were built by Americans, it would have to cost $14,970. No one would buy an iPad for $14,970. No one would buy a mid-level laptop for $23,970. No one would buy a smartphone for $5,970.
Apple could just as easily pay slave labor wages to American Prisoners to make his products instead of paying the Chinese slave labor working for Foxconn.
Example: New York State provides $5.7 billion for K-12 education annually.
States are going broke. They are closing schools, eliminating all funding for athletics and activities, going to a four-day academic week.
When reduced to its most fundamental elements, public PUBLIC EDUCATION is a cold, hard $63.7 BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS.
A Public School COO, looks at running the city's schools the same as running a business. Over $150 million annually, education is by far the biggest line item in the city's budget.
When you think about how things happen in our country, how laws get passed, or policies are made they happen through the exertion of influence.
From the National Rifle Association to the pharmaceutical industry to the tobacco lobby, powerful interests put pressure on our elected officials and government institutions to sway or stop change.
We have textbook manufacturers, teachers' unions, and even food vendors that work hard to dictate and determine policy therefore profit.

APPOINTED, ANNOINTED and Connected: D'Arcy Philps House Education & the Workforce Committee Professional Staff Member
All businesses big and small watch the decisions of the House Education and the Workforce Committee on minimum wage, worker safety and compensation, and employee protections. The committee is equally important to labor unions lobbying to ensure the best working conditions for their members. Frequent clashes between business and labor can turn this committee into a battleground. Less volatile debates have focused on legislation that would cut the rates on student loans — creating a lobbying battle between banks (a top donor to committee members) and educational groups.

We show you why the Federal Department of Education needs to redesigned, which of course means all State Departments of Education would fall inline which they do now. No one seems to understand what these institutions are really set up to do' and that what they do is not in our interest - our public interest - the common interest for the common good of the country - but in the interest of business. Unless this is explained in simple understandable language no one can talk about it.
We are furious about it, that is why we put all this information in one place.

The Collective primarily focuses on achieving scalable solutions to improve academic outcomes for under-resourced students in America's public schools and has made strategic investments in a number of results-driven education reform ventures. Additionally, the organization brings together individuals working on innovative solutions to pressing social problems and provides a venue for dialogue with members of the broader community. Ms. Powell Jobs also serves as president of the board of College Track, an after-school program she founded in 1997 to prepare underserved high school students for success in college. Started in East Palo Alto, College Track has expanded to serve students in Oakland, San Francisco and New Orleans. The program's intensive academic and extracurricular program is designed to ensure admittance to and graduation from college. All of the program's graduates have completed their secondary education and gone on to college. In addition to her work with the Emerson Collective and College Track, she serves on the boards of directors of Teach For America, Stand for Children, New America Foundation and Conservation International. She also serves on the White House Council for Community Solutions. Ms. Powell Jobs holds a BA and a BSE from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Earlier in her career, she spent several years working in investment banking and later co-founded a natural foods company in California.
