How can you use the term “to stay competitive” with a straight face and then claim it doesn’t mean getting away from federal regulations imposed by the EPA? Apple, as you say, was able to “clean up” the Chinese assembly plants...to standards that they would never get away with in the USA. Why can’t they pay for new equipment here and live by the same regulations that they paid Democrats to impose?
And they’re a paradigm of virtue when it comes to labor laws too. As long as they’re not TOO strict, like say in the United States.
And we agree, they’re very conservative on taxes. Just like Hollywood is. Everyone is conservative on taxes when it’s their money being taken. And to be truthful, you have no idea where Apple’s money is or how much is out there. That would assume that Apple is the most honest company in American history, something that you’ll just have to take their word for.
And I never said they paid zero taxes, only that if you’re going to send money to Democrats and then turn around and try to shield even a part of your earnings from taxes, you’re worse than a hypocrite. As a liberal company you’re supposed to give every dime and then ask to write a check above that amount and who to make the check out to. And they got that answer, make it out to “The Democrats”.
I suggest you PROVE all of your claims in that paragraph. . . in fact, why not find the proof of your entire post in reference to Apple. . . not just your unsupported opinion.
