If people can be ok getting a small piece, sure. But, from the looks of it, many are unhappy with that amount, let alone something like 20%.

$200B is the full amount. Not 20%. The OP said do you mean $10B because of it being 5% of $200B

Apple will spend the $200 Billion here domestically, if they can bring the money home.

I'm not, personally, very concerned with giving another $10 Billion to the US Government. It's a small amount in the scheme of things.

However, getting $200 Billion injected into the local economy would have a profound effect.

You're too optimistic that the money will be injected in the local economy. Apple clearly doesn't know what to do with all of it

Perhaps. The bigger point was, getting Apple to spend the money here in the US has far more benefits than holding out for an inconsequential amount of one-time tax revenue.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face, sort of thing.
