So of the 5 billion, he has to pay 2 billion in taxes.....then it goes on to complain he pays nothing on the other 3 billion. Is being taxed 40% not enough? How would YOU feel to be taxed at 40%? People are pretty selfish if they think he should pay more.
If taxes were not so high in the first place, people would not look for ways around it in the first place. Besides, the government will just waist that money on a bailout, or giving it to another country.
Since people love iphone so much, they could just raise rates on the iphone and leave other phones at a lower price instead of raising prices across the board. This is how a normal business would do it. People who buy apple products are not exactly concerned about costs in the first place, since you can buy a better phone (droid or samsung phone) for less.
Just charge what you need to to break even at least, you owe it to your stock holders.
Sometimes I feel like there is a computer that randomly puts a few words together, put a random day of the year, then tell everyone what to do for a day. I take all these "_____ _____ day" as a joke now. Along withe "___-____month" as a joke.
I'm going to make Jan 31 Tell a secret day.
The reason China workers can/will work for so little is because they "need" less. Most everyone in the US need that $100 phone (maybe free) with a $50-100 a month plan, feel the need to spend hundreds on shoes and cloths, and every other luxury. Where in China they do not "need" these things.
And guess what, it was after Obama was elected that Apple moved to China, why? Obama promised higher taxes, which made moving to China a smart move to save money. The reason they could move and say what they said in this article is because its not going to stop people from buying apple.
And yea, apple has no obligation to creating jobs, they have obligation for making money for share holders. Its taxes and regulations that prevent job creating. And we would have have to tax so much if the government was not giving money away. We barrow money from China just to give it back to help them build stuff. Or give billions to Europe to give to their people that don't work.
First step is to kick out a President that is anti-business, and put in someone who has had a job at least once in his life.
