This must be they key to how one buys a $1,200 phone with a straight face. further ignorance. new iphones start at $199 for mvnos. and for those who can afford $1200, so what? it's their money and they get to spend it any way they want. do you bash people who buy fancy cars and houses? |

no they don't. apple does *not* evade or avoid paying taxes. period. They avoid paying tax. Period. nope. apple follows the tax code to reduce their tax liability, just like other businesses and individuals do, which is not only legal, but smart business. There is no such thing as a 'tax code' in the sense you are using it. yes there is, and it was just changed. There's more than one way of paying, avoiding or evading tax. those are three very different things, but so what? apple pays their fair share, as does any well run business. apple does not evade paying taxes, nor does any well run business. a company or individual who evades paying taxes eventually gets caught. apple does *not* fudge the numbers to avoid paying taxes. that's illegal and stupid. It obfuscates. no. apple, like other companies as well as individuals, pay the taxes they owe, however, they *minimize* it to the extent that the tax code allows. in fact, as a public company, they're legally *obligated* to do so. What is this 'tax code'? https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tax-code.asp A tax code is a federal government document, numbering tens of thousands of pages that details the rules individuals and businesses must follow, in remitting a percentage of their incomes to the federal government. The tax code is used as a source by tax lawyers whom bear the responsibility of interpreting it for the public. start he https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26 Nonsense. There is no law that says a company cannot pay tax at a full and fair local rate. public companies have a fiduciary obligation to their shareholders. Ah, so it's not a 'law'. And it's not an obligation. Plenty, albeit a minority, of companies do not act as Apple acts. any business that pays more taxes than it legally owes is very poorly run. judge learned hand, http://intltax.typepad.com/intltax_b...x-quotes-4-5.h tml Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Gregory v. Helvering, 69 F.2d 809, 810 (2d Cir. 1934) May? Why not must, if it's 'the law'? read it again. My point remains - there's no legal obligation to avoid paying tax. read it one more time. here's a clue: there is no legal obligation to pay *more* tax than is owed. someone certainly can pay more if they really want, but that would be incredibly stupid. put your money where you mouth is. call the irs and tell them you will be paying more tax than required and *not* to process the extra as a refund (which is what normally happens with any excess). also, every time you see a discounted price in a store or online vendor, tell them you want to pay the full price and to *remove* any discounts. be sure to sort prices high to low, not the other way around. apple is paying their *legal* tax obligation. period. Insofar as I understand it, agreed. then there's absolutely no issue, is there? paying *more* than what they legally owe is stupid. do you pay more than what you owe?? do you take deductions? No and yes. then you're avoiding paying taxes. you're a hypocrite. I really do have a problem with Cook on this, and it's one of the few occasions where he gets aggressive because he knows he's wrong. he's not wrong. he's just a whole lot smarter than you are about how to run a business. he's wrong in the sense that he's arguing that what he's doing is morally inconsistent. It isn't, and he knows it. bull****. |

Btw, the asterisk emboldening doesn't work around *numbers* in Thunderbird. Hi David B. I may owe you a sincere heartfelt public apology. Most, if not almost all, Apple posters always act like little children, and they have for decades (it's the sole reason for all the Apple:Windows and Apple:Linux and Apple:Android idiotic threads - since the Apple user almost always acts like a fact-challenged child). However, you seem to be different from the average Apple poster here. What's *amazing* about you, which wouldn't be amazing for normal adults, but for Apple users it's *astoundingly amazing*, is that you actually provided a factual _reference_ in your posts. Also, what's amazing is that you didn't use childish fifth-grade vitriol, although I took your original comment about my old Thunderbird software as a typical Apple bull**** response whenever asked a simple technical question, which is that Apple users aren't competent whenever the question involves an answer that Apple Marketing didn't give them. So, I assumed you were playing the same silly semantic games that almost all the incompetent Apple posters play, simply because they can never answer even teh /simplest/ of technical questions. Of course, this fact has been proven time and again with simple methods such as asking the same question (as this one was) on the adult newsgroups and on the Apple newsgroups - where what happens on the Apple newsgroups is: 1. The posters act like children, almost every one, and, 2. They can't answer the technical question, so, 3. They quibble about silly semantic games (endlessly). What's /shocking/ to me is that you did *not* play that endless game! Remember, *all* the decades-long arguments are solely because of these reasons above, since they only happen on Apple newsgroups and the silly semantic games are always played by the non-technical Apple users. As you know by now, I can change almost any header in this message that I want since my Usenet reader is "vi" and the client is a bunch of shell scripts that simply do a randomized lookup when I post (locked to the thread topic and newsgroup for courtesy reasons). So, having said all that by way of explanation, I owe you a public apology because I had thought you were just playing the silly semantic games that almost all Apple posters play (because they have no on-topic value). In the end, despite your point being off topic, you handled the responses much more like an adult would than most Apple posters would. So, kudos to you for being like an adult, and sincere heartfelt apologies from me for assuming you were just another technically incompetent Apple baby who could do nothing but silly semantic games. Mea culpa. I apologize for not treating you as an adult would. |

Wow, but you're tedious little twit. This is a note to David B., which is that *this* post above, from Alan Baker, is how Apple users react to simple questions. That's why I had assumed you were a similar child, since I've been on Usenet for decades, where the Apple user is almost always incapable of answering even the /simplest/ of questions, and where that Apple user always responds with hateful vitriol to facts. It's *always* the Apple poster acting like a child, which is why I was surprised David B. when you acted like an adult. My sincere apologies to David B., where he may understand the frustration that intelligent adults have with the average Apple poster such as Alan Baker is. |
