How an Apple affiliate made $30 billion and paid no taxes

Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 29 2013 @ 01:27 PM EDT

And that flushing sound you hear would be all the rest of the manufacturing jobs
in the U.S. going to Lower Slobbovia.

The problem, as has already been pointed out, is that U.S. "taxes on
corporations"** are already significantly higher than in other
"developed" countries, which significantly contributes to the export
of jobs (and IP, and anything else that isn't nailed down), and the devaluation
of real estate and equipment (and anything else that is difficult to move).

**And, of course, the reality is that "corporations" don't pay tax.
EVER. Corporations COLLECT taxes that are ultimately paid by DNA-based
lifeforms: customers, employees, lenders, etc.

There are, of course, other DNA-based lifeforms who control the corporations.
And politicians would like to tax them. But there is no way. You can't tax
"control" because its value is not in "money"--it is
desirable for its own sake.
