Darn. Us working class tax paying Americans sure will miss paying taxes for them! Glad they have had a change of heart. Perhaps I can sit idle and not pay taxes for a few years while they keep the country running for me.

Apple employees pay taxes just as you and I do. The idea that it makes sense to tax the company separately is what should be under scrutiny.

Companies are persons (legally). Persons pay taxes (legally). Seems pretty reasonable in my book, all the complex legalize aside.

Why? I would think that the idea of the company pushing its tax burden onto its employees is the one that should be under scrutiny.
