OT: Die Apple!

[James Wilkinson]

This is amusing, Apple owes 14 billion in taxes.

[Taxed and Spent]

Of course any additional tax paid overseas can be claimed as a credit against US taxes. DIE IRS!!!

[James Wilkinson]

Your reply makes no sense.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Not a done deal. Appeal, appeal, appeal. Settle for 2 cents on the dollar.

[Frank]

Why not just post a big list of all you hate about the USA.

[Meanie]

Most of us don't care. It's easier to make fun of her sanctimonious idiocy.

[James Wilkinson]

Where did I mention the USA?

[James Wilkinson]

What part of "James" do you consider a female name?

[James Wilkinson]

It's about time Apple went under. They make s**te, and stupid people fall for it every time.

[James Wilkinson]

Please learn English, then we can have a conversation.

[James Wilkinson]

Tax is theft. It's money taken from you after you worked hard to earn it, so the government can spend it on things you don't want it spent on.

[Meanie]

Perhaps within the same part where you think a female would call herself Meanie.

[FromTheRafters]

Apple will a peel, then we'll get to the core of this issue.

[FromTheRafters]

You missed a chance? You must be slipping.

[Meanie]

Sonofagun...there's something I actually agree with you on.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nuts once in awhile.

Not necessarily. This is Europe, where they pass civilized laws aiming at public benefit. I doubt Apple has much option to appeal. What they do have is an option to loose their lobbyist attack dogs on American Congressmen and officials, in order to put pressure on the EU to back off from requiring American businesses to operate honestly.... which is what they're doing. Hopefully the EU won't back down. It's an embarassment that our gov't is attacking the EU on things like privacy rights and closing business tax loopholes -- laws that we should be passing and enforcing ourselves.

At least it's a relief to see the mainstream media report on Apple's cheating and Tim Cook's lying for a change, instead of the usual semi-reverent fluff stories they do about Apple.

[James Wilkinson]

Bet you can't find a single other thing we agree on. List ten of your opinions on absolutely anything:

[James Wilkinson]

There is the odd thing in the world that's stupid outside of the US.

[James Wilkinson]

Meanie isn't a name. It's a made up one, and sounds girly. So does Muggles.
