    Receipts going up is not the same thing as tax rates going up.

    More people earning more money will cause receipts to go up.
    Also, more people will cause spending to go up.

    I don't see an answer to whether or not Google is actually taking down these requests.

    But if they respect known false DCMA takedown notices, they're complicit.

    You do know that taxes have gone down over the last 30 years, right?

    Which is a large part of the problem with the federal debt.

    Typically, people aren't making an income any more when they're taking out their 401/IRAs. Thus they're typically taxed at about 15% instead of 25-30% for most incomes.

    By already, they meant 1980.

    This isn't anything new for Apple or any other major company who's done the same thing.

    You will pay much lower taxes on your 401k/Roth IRA though.

    Seriously, how is it really any different?

    It's a legal tax dodge. That's the whole point of those programs.

    That is the tax loophole in Ireland's tax code.

    Apple made it famous in the eighties - the double Irish with a Dutch sandwich.

    And it's perfectly legal, which is why lots of companies take advantage of it to minimize their taxes.

    Most scientists after 500 BC believed the earth was spherical based on empirical evidence.

    "After the 5th century BC, no Greek writer of repute thought the world was anything but round."

    Hell, Eratosthenes, in 240BC, got the diameter approximately right at ~25,000 miles.
