>> Apple is like .1% of the political clout and lobbying being brought to bear

Sure, as Tim Apple testified before Congress, Apple pays the most tax in the US and is also the most valuable company in the world. I'm pretty sure there is nothing going on between Apple and American/Chinese gov't. /s

Interesting, how much, what percentage is that of Apple revenue and what percentage of total federal tax income?

Companies pay taxes on profit, not revenue. Otherwise capital intensive industries like banks and oil companies would be screwed.
