Yes, let's support the ceo's who are going to send you job over to shanghai so that 1% of the population has all the money and our manufacturing relys on a country that we're techinally enemies with. A capatalist dream come true.

Consumerism kills. Don't do it.

@sinz52 its true, but in controversy they are using it to spread the word through social media, therefore still helping those that are not privileged enough to own one.

I think what we are fighting for is the right and ability for everyone to own an iphone, instead of just a select few.

@sinz52 why..? 

[sinz52]

All these OWS protesters have iPhones and iPods and laptops.

Let's see them practice what they preach.

In the name of socialism, I say let's take those electronic gadgets away from them--by force--and give those gadgets to poor children of color and poor Native American children.

Kind of like church where you're only "good" for one day a week...one day a year we will buy nothing. How about most days a year? Good idea.

theyre just saying quit buying as much as we do. california by itself is the second largest economy in the world, capitalism and consumerism is fine, just not wen its complete gluttony. for example people stomping that poor wal mart employee to death on the after thanksgiving sale just trying to get into the store. it gets pathetic.

brilliantly said salesguru. but I would also like to add that the statistics in the beginning are probably based on the fact that they they just listed three really lousy economies, if they had compared us to people somewhat on our level like germany or italy perhaps we might be somewhere in the same ballpark, it's sad and pathetic when a self hating American makes a video based on the mindset that we are ALL fat and rich, think of middle america blue collar folks who make nothing
