By those standards I guess Apple does deserve

of offshoring profits to avoid taxes.

they do no such thing.

apple pays taxes they are required to pay.

There is a legitimate point to be made about these
legal tax 'evasion' strategies, but what's clearly
disingenuous is to try to imply that only but one
corporation who's employing them. Case in point:

"Google's effective tax rate in the United States
has fallen dramatically from 21 percent to 15.7
percent in recent years as the company has broadened
its use of overseas tax benefits."

"Ireland is the go-to place for Apple, Google, Twitter,
and Facebook, not to mention big pharma."

"Google and Microsoft cut their overseas tax rates to
single digits with Dublin-registered subsidiaries
designated as tax resident in Bermuda."

And so on.

yep. everyone tries to reduce their tax burden, both corporations and
individuals.

only apple gets bashed for it.

nothing they're doing is illegal.

where do people come up with this ****???

It is made up, because the underlying motivation
actually has nothing to do with Apple ... the posts
are merely an "Acting Out" by a socially marginalized
individual with no self-worth, who is attempting to
have anyone pay attention to them.

FYI, you'll find that when they're ignored, their
claims will become increasingly outrageous. Eventually,
someone on the group gets fed up and flames them, but
the problem with this is that ANY response is viewed as
a positive reward, because what they want is attention,
regardless of if it is good or bad attention.

true, but unfortunately, some people may be misled by their bull****.
