>Yeah, or, Apple benefits handsomely from money spent on their behalf by the federal and local governments (e.g. the roads and public transit infrastructure serving their headquarters, the funding for the public universities and subsidized loans for private universities from which they draw their employees), but apparently doesn't feel any obligation for funding those benefits. It's hard to see any way to do the accounting such that Apple doesn't already pay for that and more. And if you're going to start doing that kind of accounting, shouldn't governments credit Apple with the personal income taxes Apple employees pay?
