It's amazing how often you seem to think two wrongs make a right.

This is typical nospam. Say anything that he thinks is "bashing"
Apple, and he immediately wants to know why you haven't also bashed
anyone from Google to Nabisco to your local children's day care
center.


why single out apple when plenty of other companies do the same thing?

Because normal people don't write that way unless they are presenting
a white paper on some subject where a wide view of a situation is
called for.

Just pick up a newspaper or read your news online. Why didn't the
writer of this article not mention other companies who either don't
pay taxes or pay very little?


because mentioning apple gets the clicks.

The answer is because the author is writing about GE and not other
companies.


the linked article did not mention ge.

try again.

the answer is because it's the usual apple bashing, with you at the
forefront.


First of all, I don't bash Apple.


the hell you don't. the moment apple is in the topic you go into attack
mode.

But, why are you a hypocrite and
mentioning me when you don't mention others?


i do mention others, but right now i'm responding to your posts.

tax dodgers to work the best scams they can. Not really comparable.

unlike the other companies, however, apple wants to change the the tax
laws so that they're more fair, where they can repatriate the money.
that means they will pay *more* taxes than they currently are, just not
the absurd amounts that the current tax law requires.

That sounds like it is written by someone in the market for a bridge.
Yeah, right, Apple is working diligently to figure out ways to pay
more in taxes. They have a whole department of accountants and
shareholder representatives devoted to ways to reduce their bottom
line.


you're ignorant.


That's your usual ploy. It doesn't, in any way, refute the claim.


saying you're ignorant is not intended to refute anything. it's simply
a statement of fact.

apple has repeatedly said they want to change the existing tax laws so
that they can repatriate their assets, something which will result in
paying more tax than they currently are paying.


Lip service.


so much for you bull**** claim of not bashing apple.

do you hear marissa saying she wants to change the tax laws? nope.


Ms Mayer is just being honest with you.


tim is being honest too.

what you refuse to acknowledge is that apple's playbook is very
different than normal corporate playbooks and any time that's pointed
out to you, you go into attack mode.

To
think they'd like to pay more, though, is the thinking of a demented
fool.


call tim cook and tell him that he's a demented fool.


I don't need to contact Tim. There's a demented fool who will read
this post and argue with it.


of course you don't, because you don't want facts. you just want to
argue.
