The least I would expect from a tax evading megacorp like Apple…

Could any global corporation pay more in taxes? Absolutely.

But paying $35 billion in taxes and being the world's largest tax payer is not nothing [1].

A 2017 link by Apple itself is the trust-worthy link you spam when someone accuses Apple of tax dodging. Are you serious?

Well here are some non-biased results from Google's first page for your education:

- Apple Avoided $40 Billion in Taxes. Now It Wants a Gold Star https://fortune.com/2018/01/18/apple-bonuses-money-us-350-bi...

- Silicon Valley giants accused of avoiding over $100 billion in taxes over the last decade. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/02/silicon-valley-giants-accuse...

It's amazing how far Apple supporters will go to defend Apple stealing their own money.


Large numbers are hard to reason about, in both directions.

It could be that people are reacting less in defense of Apple and more to your obvious passionate hatred of the company.


Poeple's beef with Apple are rarely unrooted. Just read the links in this thread alone and my experience with iPhone 6 and macbook's keyboard.

Travelling far to a "genius store" to show a stuttering iPhone only to be told that the battery is still not broken enough for warranty despite the phone having to slow down to protect the underprovisioned underplaned battery is like being called a clown and a liar.

And diminishing tax evasion denounced by multiple unbiased entities to "people can't reason with Large numbers" is a disservice to those who could use those billions in health care.
