Apple CEO unapologetic over tax dodging strategy

Nothing upsets politicians more than OTHERS dodging taxes. It is okay for themselves to do so, but others MUST pay to cover what they themselves are not paying. A country filled with patriots must do the patriotic thing and not dodge taxes ... else the entertainment budget and bonuses will be cut ... politicians may even be forced to use normal luxury sedans and not have those stretched limos.

No but we as africans perfected the bribe and corruption phenomenon. We only have less than the USA to steal, that is the only reason we are not in the top position. Look at state of our continent.

Rand Paul actually berated the rest of the senate subcommittee, telling them that Apple is doing exactly the same thing as them, paying as little tax as they legally can

Spot on.

Watch them try to change the rules.
 
Don't see the issue here. im sure they just playing the rules. That's what hapenns when governments take and take and never give back.

2% percent tax would be awesome though:)
 
these CONGRESSMEN must do us a favour and give back tax to countries where apple have sold their devices to, because massive amounts have been gained by apple in such countries and never paid tax there, not all of it belong in USA. Then that will be fair.

These are Senators, not Congressmen.
And Apple has already paid tax is each territory in which they operate.
Where are you coming up with this claim that Apple never paid tax in any country in which they operate?
