apple pays a ****load of taxes.

But not their fair share.

wrong. they pay every penny they're required to pay.

At the expense of US taxpayers.

nope.

google, microsoft, facebook, intel and many others use the same tax
code in the same way, but as is typical with haters, they get a free
pass.

The only haters here are Appholes like you. No one really cares about
google, microsoft, facebook, intel.

exactly my point.

You may have heard about Google Inc.¹s restructuring last year, which
resulted in the technology company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary
of a new Delaware corporation called Alphabet Inc. What you may not
know is how this restructuring can help the company potentially avoid
millions in state taxes.
....
As of the end of 2015, Google had $58.3 billion in offshore
³permanently reinvested² profits on which it pays no U.S. taxes, up
from $47.4 billion in 2014.

Only you Appholes make it your lifes
work to defend an uncaring corporate entity. Something must be lacking in
your life. Buy another Apple toy, it might assuage your discontent.

i'm not defending anything.

i'm just pointing out how much of a hypocrite you and your ilk are.

apple is doing *nothing* illegal, and ireland is on *apple's* side,
appealing the eu decision.
