This is just stupid.
I'm all for private companies making profits and such - but why do Apple really need tax breaks when they have over $100 billion in the bank?
It's especially the case with the income and distribution of wealth. Apple looks for tax breaks yet those working in the lowest wage (probably doing the most work than some top paid execs) paying departments producing Apple products in factories can barely afford to live.
Apple should be producing everything in the United States - and it's the United States governments fault for not acting quick enough when these technology companies started shifting production to Asia and beyond. It's not political, it's moral and ethics we're talking here and it's the fault of whose at the top of both Apple and the US government.
Apple is a business. Not a charity. Their goal is to maximize profits for their shareholders.
