Google, Facebook and Apple make billions and pay no taxes.

I was reading an article in the Wall Street Journal last week about Apple's problem with Chinese competitors, but the part that caught my attention was that Apple has over 300,000 EMPLOYEES IN CHINA.

How can you consider Apple to be an American company, regardless of where their mailing address is for corporate headquarters? That used to be called a front.

Amazing hipsters are so pro-Apple despite their crappy treatment of Chinese workers. If they were, for example, a coffee-producing company, libs would call for Starbucks to boycott.

Apple and many other companies are incorporated in Ireland I believe. Some tax haven scheme.

I don’t find fault in any company avoiding taxes, but it is the height of b.s. for the ‘fair share’ crowd to pay nothing while taxing the middle class.
