Jesus Fucking Christ, this fucking company can pay 13 billion and it still will not do a dent on their TRILLION dollars value. Imagine all that society could benefit if those fucking assholes just paid their share, instead of us having to hear how green and socially conscious these bastards are.
Tech companies are the most disgusting corporations in their sheer greed, right up there with oil corps.
They greedy af. They’ve lobbied (bribed?) to keep the corp taxes as low as possible. Then they go Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich and NOT pay the low taxes anyways. If we were to tax them appropriately then it’d be a helluva lot more than 13b imo

Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.
It sounds so bizarre that Ireland has been fighting in court to avoid having to receive €13bn from Apple.
I have no issue paying taxes, if they directly contribute to my environment being improved.
However, it is beyond infuriating, to have to pay taxes on already painstakingly obtained money, on both incoming and outgoing transactions, while companies like Apple sit on more money, than all of us combined will ever see, in a dozen generations of our families
