NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- At the end of Tuesday night's presidential debate, CNN's Candy Crowley asked both candidates a question that has plagued Apple since the beginning of the year.

"IPad, the Macs, the iPhones, they are all manufactured in China, and one of the major reasons is labor is so much cheaper there," Crowley said. "How do you convince a great American company to bring that manufacturing back here?"

When you truly own who you are, no one can ever use you against you.

Best move to the next company that can start to fulfill this challenge.

How about Pineapple. Made in the USA ,"we grow em and build em."
sort of thing.

Seriously:
Everyone one has more or less the same technology. Specific patents can be avoided by altering specifics of ones own designs. Perfectly legal.

Another thing is for Americans to have this awareness to start buying their products made solely in the USA. Applies to other countries too of course.
