That depends on what you think the purpose of the game is. if it's 
merely to win, well, you have a might-is-right society.

It depends also on who made the rules, and for whose benefit. The rules 
are stacked against "the little people". As Leona Helmsley famously said 
(when charged with tax evasion): "We don't pay taxes. Only the little 
people pay taxes."

Ah, yes, the old "If I'm smarter than you are I deserve to win" 
argument. Love it. I History shows that if you go that route, the 
brainless sooner or later realise that it's easy to turn a smart brain 
into pulp. they've done it repeatedly.

That's the standard self-styled "libertarian" argument. Intellectually 
bankrupt. Read Thoreau's Civil Disobedience for the most cogent analysis 
of libertarianism. Note especially the irony in the first sentence of 
Civil Disobedience:

"I HEARTILY ACCEPT the motto, — "That government is best which governs 
least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and 
systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I 
believe, — "That government is best which governs not at all"; and when 
men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they 
will have."

"... when men are prepared for it..."

Are they?

Have a good day,



Best,

Wow.

You don't even get what you just said, do you?

"No one really cares about google, microsoft, facebook, intel."

So why do you care so much about Apple?

True, but that's not the issue. "Fair" and "legal" aren't the same 
thing. "Acquitted" and "innocent" aren't the same thing. "Justice" and 
"law" aren't the same thing.

yes it is the issue.

the claim is that apple has avoided or evaded paying taxes that they
owe. they have not avoided nor evaded anything. they paid what they
owe.

irrelevant and you don't get to decide what's fair anyway.

The issue is whether they paid their fair share, not whether they paid 
what they owe.

On the contrary, that's the nub of the issue. The fact that you don't 
get that indicates a gap in your education. BTW, I left out "convicted" 
and "guilty" aren't the same thing.

> and you don't get to decide what's fair anyway.

Now that's an irrelevant remark. Unless you're willing to accept that 
you don't get to decide, either.

i'm not deciding anything.

ireland decided what's fair when they came up with their tax code.

apple is in full compliance with irish tax law, as are plenty of other
companies.

the fact that you only criticize apple when everyone else does the same
thing tells all.

Only if "legal" equals "fair". It doesn't. If it did, we wouldn't need 
both words.

Read the Washington Post articles on the issue. On August 30, 2016, WP 
reported:
"Apple paid a tax rate of 1 percent or even less — 0.0005 percent, in 
some years —..."

WP also reports (repeatedly) that Ireland made a special deal with 
Apple. BTW, Luxembourg does the same kind of thing. The EU Commission is 
invoking a rule that says members are not permitted to offer special 
"state aid".

Have a good day,

so did google, facebook, intel and others.

your issue is with *ireland*, not apple.

don't believe everything you read.

google, facebook, intel and others are benefiting from this supposed
apple deal.

the reality is that it's the tax code and it would be foolish to *not*
take advantage of it.

How do they do that: by making products that people want and selling 
them at prices those people are willing to pay?

Except they don't do that. They make LIMITED hardware at exorbitant
prices knowing that there are enough dumb people out there willing to
buy it as a fashion statement.

It's accurate. Apple's taxes are mostly paid elsewhere and they've
been avoiding giving the United States even a dime. They went to court
over it near and after Jobs' death and Tim Cook was asked point-blank
why Apple avoids paying taxes in the United States. Try to pause your
fanboyism for a day to look it up.

Apple pays a HUGE amount in taxes, and they use legal means to avoid 
paying more than they have to.

'It’s the third thing that’s so interesting though. About this shifting 
of cash flows and tax debts through time. Last year Apple made 
provisions for tax of $8.283 billion (Provision for income taxes 8,283). 
Which was indeed 24.2% of their profits declared in that year. Now, in 
this trading year they’ve actually paid over $7.682 billion.'

Apple

pays a lot but also avoids paying a lot. To be fair, I would
probably do the same in their position since the United States have
taken it upon themselves to tax the crap out of corporations to the
extent that none of them want to do business in your country anymore
but it's still unethical for an American company to do so.

Your claim was:

'They went to court over it near and after Jobs' death'

A congressional subcommittee hearing is not a court.

Which has nothing whatsoever to do with Apple's taxes...

...nor did they even receive it at roughly the same time as your earlier 
cite.

Whoops, I posted the wrong link there.

One, about what's going on in the United States by Apple:
<http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/14/tim-cook-addresses-apples-us-taxes-says-
no-repatriation-without-fair-rate.html>
... they want a fair rate but:

<http://ca.finance.ret1p.global.media.yahoo.com/news/tim-cook-attacks-eu
- -tax-114817858.html>

Turns out they weren't paying their fair share according to the _court_
.

No.

The "European Commission" is not a court.

Incorrect, and a dodge.

Your initial claim:

'They [Apple] went to court over it near and after Jobs' death and Tim 
Cook was asked point-blank why Apple avoids paying taxes in the United 
States.'

So.

1. They didn't go to court.

2. The European Commission is not a court.

3. Apple didn't go to them either.

4. The group that asked Tim Cook "point-blank" was not the European 
Commission. It was a US sub-committee.

5. They didn't say that Apple avoids paying taxes in the US.

6. Apple DOES pay billions in taxes in the US.


You're just digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole, here.
