Apple did the same thing since their phones are made in China as well.

When is Apple going to take that hundreds of billion of dollars in profits and start hiring Americans to make their phones instead of using cheap slave labor in China?

Oh, and when will Apple start paying American taxes on all those profits instead of creating foreign shall corporations to hide the money overseas?

Lying again, Code Toad. Apple has never had to pay anyone to show up for events. If you want to claim differently, provide evidence.

I have shown numerous time there is no slave labor when the workers on Apple's products are being paid the equivalent of $52 per hour in the USA, when compared to the base minimum wages in the respective economies and costs of living. When the workers queue up by thousands for each opening on the Apple assembly lines it demonstrates those positions are completely voluntary.

As for your complaint about taxes you are lying even more. Apple is paying every penny in taxes they're required by law to pay in every country where they earned the money. They move their over-seas AFTER TAX profits to the country which has the lowest capital gains tax rate in the world which is Ireland where they invest them in short term debentures. As for the U.S. Taxes, Apple pays more income taxes than any other corporation in the U.S., paying one dollar of every forty dollars of corporate income taxes the IRS collects. Apple's world wide tax rate was 29% with the USA contributing the highest portion of that. Sorry, if you want Apple to pay more, join the Democrats and change the U.S. tax laws to make them even more onerous!

In the meantime STOP LYING!
