Not paying taxes makes you smart.

America taxes them still and the amount is sizable.

Also probably lobbying.

taxes are theft

>>56935084
when you tax them they will move to ireland like google lol

it is not the duty of the business or person to pay taxes

it is the duty of the government to collect taxes. Resistance to taxation is natural and should be encouraged

How do you pay for the military, the infrastructure, etc?

Apple is doing the right thing defunding the biggest criminal organization on earth (the US govt). Also taxes are theft.

>>56935084
>Why do Americans support these technology companies that hate America and don't pay their fair share of taxes?
Because I hate the government, so I don't care about taxes. Actually:

wtf i love apple now.

>>56935386
Private companies can do this.
If companies want to use American infrastructure to make their billions, why should they pay taxes?
It's the goyim's responsibility to make sure apple can keep making money from the employees that use public roads, public firefighting, public education, public administration, public security etc.
Apple has no responsibility to the country that paid for the infrastructure that it owes its billions to.

I don't think they hate america. If they do, that's extremely stupid. The united states is the largest consumer whore nation in the world. They're their bread and butter.

The only people ever pissed about tax holes are the poor and socialist. Welcome to crony capitalism. You don't have to stay in the states if you don't enjoy it.

I'm surprised they keep money offshore. Surely there's plenty of good ways to avoid taxes in the US?
That's why American companies were largely missing in the Panama papers right?

Maybe Apple just feels avoiding taxes in the US is too mainstream.

>>56935507
If the people advantaged by moving away from the US (to another unspecified location where they're more advantaged) could do that easily the country would change a lot. Along with the rest of the world obviously. But the US especially.

This is not really the board to discuss politics but it comes down to the big corporations outsourcing their labor to countries with cheap labor. Those laborers Foxconn can't afford to buy the very devices they make. That is like saying a worker at McDonalds can't afford to buy a Big Mac in the USA (which would be a joke if it ever became true). The United States of America doesn't have any major company manufacture a basic requirement for building a computer [the motherboard]. Asus, Acer, Gigabyte, MSI, Foxconn, list goes on... all made in Taiwan or China. America has NO OPTION for a decent computer that has proudly plastered "MADE IN THE USA" and we all end up buying electronics with "MADE IN CHINA". This will not end until the USA government bans goods made in countries with cheap labor and especially ban China. This is on levels of complaining that Walmart ruins the economy by running off smaller companies then being told to not buy at Walmart only to realize it is the only store in town to buy goods. A lack of competitive choice ruins the economy.

>>56935084
The US government is almost formally puppeted by companies. Laws follow company's convenience.

Tax loopholes are "obviously" okay and not gonna get closed at a faster rate than they're opened.

But apparently, that's what the USA wants.

>>56935084
no one supports them except democrats and women

>>56935586
Exploiting cheap resources, cheap labour, cheap everything is just muh capitalism.

You're not gonna get this holy cow sacrificed.

That said, nothing says you can make both cheap and expensive labour do work. Nothing gets factually *worse* if both work.

It's just an income redistribution problem at that point. I'd suggest redirecting some to that cheap labour first for fairness' sake, but I'd guess you're not on board with that.

>>56935586
>ban china
You have a bootstrap problem- when everything becomes 3 times as expensive you're going to get a period of time where no-one can afford to buy anything and the economy collapses.
If no americans can afford to buy american products, no-one will make them.

It's hard for me to give a shit about the the govt not getting money they're just going to horribly mismanage and outright steal.

Well did apple pay for the roads their employees used to get to work? How about the roads that the shipment trucks used?
Where were their employees educated, was it public? Do the police protect apple employees?
If your company stops paying taxes, the police stop protecting your employees, your stores, your warehouses and your factories. Also the public justice system doesn't waste its time on adjudicating disputes, like patents, or property damage, or theft.
I think that's a fair deal.
Also apple isn't allowed to employ anyone who used any tax-paid service.
Which they're trying to do but they aren't quite at having robots in the stores with little monitors showing indians working in a different country.

Man that's gonna happen one day. Instead of in-store clerks and whatnot, they'll get replaced by robots that are operated remotely.

That makes it basically most efficient to just rob any opportune shit with your own private "police" ... gang ... army thing.

Maybe also simply control the water sources and enslave everyone or some shit like that.

>>56935874
What would happen is that Apple would hire private mercenaries to defend their shit.
However, these mercenaries would have to pay taxes or would be vulnerable to other private mercenaries, organised crime, stuff like that. And so they would pay taxes, and if you set it so it's relative of the value of their worth to their employer, they'd be paying so much tax that apple would be paying their owed tax through the mercenaries.

So Microsoft goes all in early enough, brings better weapons, and conquers them. And then the rest of the USA falls. End of story.

And the other thing is that even if nobody fights and not everything has been annexed into Microsoft yet, these huge fucking armies you need to have anyhow don't get any shit done that actually makes us more more comfortable.


Look, plain capitalism is just fail. You need government moderated capitalism or it's just gonna be unproductive theft, robbery, war, monopolies, cartels, ...
And yes, even petty disputes need resolution by court, and you may have to register where every god damn tree and house and guard rail on a street and other thing is by government so people can't do shit with it all unnoticed.

>when you tax them they will move to ireland like google lol
this is the correct answer. The funny thing about Irish tax laws is that they lowered corporate tax to encourage foreign companies to move to Ireland and do business there. Instead they have just turned into a tax haven, the companies that do business there are just shell companies.

The reason the US is afraid to tax Apple is that they know that Apple is an international company that doesnt have to be on US soil and will simply move if they get taxed.

Im-fucking-plying, its a basic way to dogde paying taxes.
Invest more than you make.
Write all the money you invested off as loss.
2 years later your house is built and you are making mad dosh while not having paid a single penny taxes for it(in most cases even make profit with the tax returns alone).

>There's nothing incorrect about those 2 statements. People who can't afford iPhone range devices are poor. Apple is very clever for maximizing profit, which is the point of a business.

You people are literally praising Apple for being frugal, while denouncing people for being frugal about not wanting to buy a iphone. Somebody doesn't want to spend money on the most expensive option is not always poor. Someday you going to have to understand consumerist's mindset of spending the most makes you the richest is cancerous logic. ironically Apple is richer then Google/Microsoft because they don't spend as much as money , and while gaining more profit.

Why to know why you are prepping bull?.Apple product never turn into commodity, nobody about the price, it has resale, people associate wit status of wealth. Then Apple maximizes it's profit margin by gaining nearly 80% of the royalties on their iphone. After that Apple cuts expensive down to minimal. With these steps, Apple increase their value to insane levels .

There many easy mode ways for affording a Iphone. You could easily buy Iphone 5 for 200 dollars if you care about getting Iphone so fucking much. . The other way is to do a down payment. It's just fucking 600 dollar, any MCjob can afford by saving their money. You not buying a fucking house, cars, a business,building stock, retirement funds,etc which are require feats of strong disposable income. Bragging about Iphone might as well be like a nigga bragging about buying shiny shoes.
