No it isn't. I and others carefully explained what the difference is. If you still insist on gain saying just to be contrary, then you are either incredibly stupid, or a troll. If you'd like to defend your position that deductions and loopholes are the same, differing only on how one views them, then I'm willing to engage you.
Nope, that's your leap of logic. I never said anything about whom deductions benefit. EIC is a deduction, not a loophole.
Again, moving around money off shore or through other states and territories isn't a "deduction", it's a manoever to side step paying a higher rate. While there are plenty of existing deductions spelled out in the tax code for corporations, there are no official line items in the tax code for those kind of tactics. That's what makes them a loophole and not a deduction, and what makes it different from EIC. If there are such official line items for such manoevers, please cite them.
Who said anything about Apple being more unethical? I thought it was obvious that people are complaining about the loopholes in the tax code that many corporations take advantage of. There happened to be an article on MR about how Apple does it, so Apple became an example of the ensuing discussion about the topic.
Yes, of course. Amazing...it's like you're not even reading what other people are writing.
No one's apologizing for Google. No one's singling out any particular company.
Again, it seems you are not reading what other people are actually posting, and are simply setting up strawman arguments, making leaps of logic, introducing irrelevant points, making snide remarks and refusing to understand how a deduction could be different from a loophole. Is there a good reason why we should continue discussing this with you?
