Don't blame US tax laws. These big corporations have law makers in their pocket. They know how to fool the public and make loopholes in laws so they shall pay no tax. Apple is just the biggest one.
AAPL did not violate US laws but they are raping the spirit of the laws. The rich never play fair. That is why every society ends up with a revolution and starts over again eventually, even us, the best in the human history.
Bernanke, Obama and AAPL longs might be laughing that stock market is at the historical high, but underbeneath, the trouble is brewing.Sentiment: Strong Sell

maybe 20%. CFO has spent tons of money buying AAPL shares in the past two days because Tim Cook went to Washington. Now they are very vulnerable today when general market finallly gets its overdue correction.

Because of AAPL and many multinational corporations, every tax payer needs to pay much more to balance the budget. These CEOs are cancer of our society.

I saw Tim Cook walk into traps. Senators have him say on record many times. It will come back to haunt him and AAPL.

if AAPL has to pay its fair share of tax. And now Congress and Obama will make sure it well.
They did not enforce it when AAPL was at $705, afraid it will interrupt the recovery. But since AAPL is a dog now, that concern is gone because GOOG, AMZN, NFLX and other momo stocks are all doing fine. And you kick the dog when it is down.Sentiment: Strong Sell

AAPL just demonstrates why there should be no tax holiday for patronizing money back to US

Fat chance. I have seen big corps adovating repatriation since the first bubble in 1990's. US government will never buldge.
They have to pay 30.5% if they want to access that money parked in the tax shelter nations.Sentiment: Strong Sell

Tim Cook argued that they have already paid tax (to Ireland) so they want to transfer money back to US free. If he had his way, all big US corporations would set up their operation offices in Ireland because the max corporation tax is 2% in Ireland, not 35% in USA. Then they transfer money back after paying Ireland tax. The US government will get 0% tax from these big corporations. Is this logical? And how dare these CEOs keep asking tax holdiay to patronize money back. It is amazing that rich people have no shame and think everybody else is an idiot.

So obvious that jewMcCain wanted Cook to say on the record they had an unfair advantage.
by sheepskinner6 •May 21, 2013 12:18 PM"Fair" is a subject term. Even 99% of people think it is unfair on a particular matter, any CEO shouldn't say it because you can be in that 1%.

Feds has decided that AAPL will unlikely rise again so it is time to kick the dog further.
They don't want to be the one responsible of stopping AAPL's rally. So they kept silent in the past 4 years. Now AAPL is significantly lower. It is time to solve AAPL's tax issue.
And investors are actually right all along on AAPL and AMZN. Even AMZN P/E is over 100 and AAPL is under 10. If AAPL has to pay additional $4B each quarter, their earnings will be almost wiped out like AMZN. People are smart. They look through things.Sentiment: Strong Sell

GE paid 14.4% taxes or 3.2B while AAPL paid 30.5% taxes or 7B$
by michalisrael157 •May 21, 2013 1:20 AMIf AAPL had paid additional 3.2B for all sales in Europe and Asia, earnings will be negative like AMZN. In the end, AAPL is no different from AMZN, a non-profit organization.,

by michalisrael157 •May 21, 2013 1:20 AMAAPL paid 30.5% taxes on all sales in North America and South America. AAPL paid 0% taxes to US government on all sales in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world because AAPL set up their international office in Ireland where there is almost zero corporation tax. AAPL argued that they already paid Ireland tax so they should pay no tax to US government when they transfer the money from Ireland to USA.
Why does Ireland only charge AAPL 1.5% tax? Because it is free money. They do nothing but collect the money while AAPL has most intelectual properties developed in US and Ireland office has only two employees. Closely examine the scheme, everyone could see Apple is worse than Enron.Sentiment: Strong Sell

Agreed. P/E will be much higher because the profits will drop substaintially due to taxes that AAPL has to pay.
AAPL earnings will be comparable to INTC and MSFT and should have the same P/E. AAPL share price would be around $180. Instead those taxes are masked as earnings. Tim Cook created a delution that AAPL is super profitable.Sentiment: Strong Sell

Meat on fast food menu, either chicken or beef, has 60% starch and 40% real meat. People don't notice the 60% corn adding to the ground beef or chicken.
On the other end, angus beef has to be nearly 100% beef. Too expensive for fast food chain.Sentiment: Sell

People should know better. I predict before the year end, they will run out of weekly options buyers. Then Wall Street need to invent new scheme to make money.
