Well, well ... when people say that Apple doesn’t pay enough in taxes, I’ll ask them if they want Apple to be “NUMBER ONE” in paying taxes instead of number two?! ... LOL ...

Go ahead, Democrats. End the era of fossil fuels. I dare ya!

There you go again!

It’s like you’re laying in bed with Apple as your girlfriend.

Your love for Apple is vomit inducing.

Yuck!

I absolutely love the Apple products I have. The iPhone is great, the iPad is wonderful and I’m using it right now.

AND ... that’s what makes for a great company in that they meet the needs of their customers in the mass market ... and Apple is don’t exactly that, which is what a company should do in our capitalistic, free market system!

Apple paid the second highest amount of corporate taxes in the USA this year after Exxon Mobile — PING!

Apple Income Taxes 2nd highest Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I just swapped out the US carrier SIMs from my Iphone 5 and Iphone 6, with Globe Telecom SIMs, and both work like champs. I did not know the SIMs are not interchangeable, but still not a problem. Oh yes, my Mac Book Pro is still chugging along too. 😄😀😃😂😁😎😅

That lead paragraph is a dog’s breakfast. It keeps jumping back and forth between taxes paid and market cap as if those things had anything to do with each other, and doesn’t cite the numbers that actually would be relevant.

You forgot to add this to the post, notice #8 on the list.

10 Corporate Tax Dodgers You Should Know About

Apple keeps most of it cash overseas and pays no taxes on it. To say Apple is a good American citizen fails to show the highly complex scam it runs with using foreign corporations to keep money out of the US.

Apple paid $14b but has over $180b in cash overseas.

[CodeToad]

Sad thing is that list conveniently doesn’t have Apple on the list even though that have far more overseas tax-dodging cash than Microsoft.

Microsoft: $60b
Apple: $180b

Somehow Apple is not on the list. Why is that? Is this just more liberal propaganda?

[amigatec]

And what is your source for this? Or is this just some more of YOUR propaganda?

[CodeToad]

Go search yourself. It isn’t hard to find. I mean, I’m not a idiot liberal troll on FR getting talking points fed to him like swordmaker and startraveler.

Do you have a brain? Then go use it.

[amigatec]

So you have no source??

2 Thess 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

[CodeToad]

So you have no brain. Liberals typically have to be told what to think instead of knowing how to think. Bye.

It’s the duty of all citizens and all companies to reduce their taxes to the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM LEVEL as allowed by law. I would say that’s an OBLIGATION to do so, and NOT pay the most taxes possible. Here at Free Republic we’re about REDUCING taxes! ... :-) ...

But even so with Apple reducing taxes to the minimum possible by law, they are still paying the SECOND HIGHEST LEVEL of taxes of any company!

[Star Traveler]

Well, CodeToad, you’re the one who is well-known and identified as one of a handful of Free Republic APPLE-HATER TROLLS, who always attacks any of the 700 FReepers who are on the Apple list and whenever they post here.

SO ... what you’re saying doesn’t mean very much ... LOL ...

Left wing leaning APPL gets a pass. Imagine that!!!!
