    So, it's not Apple's fault if someone jumps off the roof, but it is a gun's faults if someone pulls the trigger?
    Where have I said its a guns fault if someone pulls a trigger?

    Lots of companies employ lots of people - but these other companies pay taxes - Apple is avoiding paying anything. The reason that you haven't heard Apple say anything is because they know that doubling it would just take them from 0.5% to 1% - hardly the same as a company going from 20%-30%.
    Verizon and GE were net tax consumers in 2011. That's why I listed them. There are plenty of corporations paying less than 35%, and honestly, if you are paying 35% as a billion dollar corp, you might want to consider getting new CPAs. Obviously, apple paid something

    You want to claim now that Apple is benefiting the economy by employing people? That is what I told you last year, and you kept up that corporations needed to pay more. Looks like you might finally be learning - good for you.
    Nothing has changed. I still don't think it's a bad idea if corporations paid more.

    You could only find one Walmart suicide, and they have almost double the number of employees. The claim from you was that Foxconn's rate was lower. It wasn't a true statement.

    Not the gun's fault, but ban assault style weapons - got it. LOL

    Apple gamed the system, just like the other companies. They weren't in business to help others, they were in business to make themselves a financial success. What was Obama's speech about again?
