now look up that it's not a sweetheart deal nor is it specific to
apple, but rather it's part of the tax code itself and completely
legal.

also look up that apple isn't the only company to legally use the tax
code in that manner. google, microsoft, facebook, intel and others do
the same thing.

after that, look up that ireland is siding with apple, *not* the eu.

in other words, ireland doesn't want apple to pay and it's
questionable
whether the eu has any say in the matter in the first place.

The bad guys are sitting in the Irish parliament. For centuries
Ireland
tried to convert from an agricultural country to a worthless
nonproductive banking nation at the EU's expense. And that plan was
paid by the EU twice, by direct funding and by a big loss of taxes due
to Ireland's irresponsibe tax dumping strategy, which allowed
companies
to avoid payments on a large scale. On top of that, when in 2008 the
economic bubble burst, they once again held out their hands to be
bailed
out by the EU and the IMF with additional multi-billion Euro benefits.

When will EU representatives recognize that it's time to end that
farce,
time to make the spalpeens understand that solidarity has to be
mutual.

Again: how is Apple doing anything different than what anyone else
does:
i.e. organizing its affairs to take advantage of the tax laws?

Again: The Apple deal (and some others too) violated Ireland's own tax
laws. These deals were kept secret until some furshlugginer so'n'so went
whinging to the EU Commission about it. That's when the **** hit the
fan. The Irish Parliamentarians are covered in it.

Have a good day,

Ireland disagrees with you.

The Irish Government does. Of course. So what?

So they're in a far better position to know what is an is not legal in
Ireland.
