Yeah!
You go Apple, set up phony subsidiaries and employee scores of people around the world in unnecessary locations, just like the tax men want you to! After all, if they wanted you to engage in lean and green business practices, they'd have made it cheaper for you not to go to all this trouble.
It's pretty funny listening to people saying companies paying taxes is "being green" especially since folks who believe in such hoaxes want to use taxes to alter people's behavior. Well, Apple altered their behavior, and now you complain??? It's not unusual at all. Folks who want to use taxes as a means to alter behavior never understand the fundamental economic problem: alternate means for the same end, and alternate uses for the same resource.
To those who think this should be illegal, or is in fact immoral, I pose this question: "What is Apple supposed to do, set up the maximum tax configuration of their business and maximize their prices?"
Ultimately, customers pay all the taxes anyway, so operating in a minimizing tax locations reduces the price to customers. (Some argue that employees share in the tax burden... but where does the revenue come from if not customers?) It also increases the money stream to employees, and wasn't someone complaining Apple employees aren't being paid enough?...
So, Thanks Apple! We appreciate your working hard to avoid the things governments don't want you to do (the highly-taxed things) to bring us the lowest prices (from the lowest taxed things).
(Well, ok, maybe it's just me since we've got a bunch of people who don't understand basic economics on this forum.)
