The survey, set up by Canadian indie developer Owen Goss, found that the bottom 80 percent of iOS developers are splitting a mere three percent of all App Store game revenue."

    Every app developer pays Apple 30%.

    That's alot more than can be said about our federal tax laws which are more like a record of bribery and scams than a rational tax code.

    Google dodges taxes using techniques known as the "Double Irish" and the "Dutch Sandwich" to reduce its tax rate to 2.4 percent.
