Wow. The liberal Apple CEO likes the protect 10s of billions from taxation but is all for an increase on the middle class here, I’m sure.

The European Taxes have nothing to do with the taxes Apple paid here, DP. Apple's US effective corporate tax rate last year was over 27%, among the highest of all corporations. In 2012, Apple paid more corporate US Income Taxes than any other business in the US. That year, Apple paid $1 out of every $40 of US Corporate Income Taxes. Otherwise, nice try.

Maybe it’s time for Apple to come home. And make America great again.

No level of taxation is sufficiently great for socialism supporting companies. I would prefer that they get crushed out of business.

Repeal the Hollywood Tax cuts!
