I’m not an Apple person, but Rand is right. To paraphrase him, Congress needs to be talking to a mirror to discuss what is wrong.

Congress is what’s wrong. Stand 90% of them against a stone wall...

“I’m not an Apple person, but Rand is right. To paraphrase him, Congress needs to be talking to a mirror to discuss what is wrong.”

Well, over the past few years, under pressure from my daughters, I have transitioned to Apple products. However, I refuse to give up Microsoft, have Office loaded :)

Anyway, to the subject; there is a difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. The first is legal and the second is not. The fact that Apple is practicing tax avoidance should be expected. In fact Apple, as any corporation doing its due diligence, is doing exactly what it should be doing. It’s not Apples fault that it is smarter than congress. Actually, not particularly difficult, especially the likes of McCain. The old senile goat needs to go back to Arizona and park his butt on the front porch and enjoy those desert sunsets for whatever time he has remaining....

I am expecting a vintage photo of John McShame to show up any day now sitting on a Viet Cong anti-aircraft gun surrounded by gooks...al a Hanoi Jane. John has chosen and now sides with the Communists.

I find McCain both offensive and useless.

McCain wants to arm al-Qaeda in Syria and punish Apple for obeying the tax laws he was responsible for as a Republican senator for decades.

That offends the heck out of me on some level - the other level makes me want to see if he can be sent to an old age home.

Wasn’t it reported that GE paid ZERO federal income taxes over the last couple of years. Why not bring that back up for review?

I am no fan of the commie-loving, gay-supporting leftists at Apple, but I defend their right to do what they want with their own money.

It’s none of Congress’ or the IRS’ business where Apple has its money.

Oh, and John McCain is as sickening as ever.
