We're seeing a real power struggle between these powerful tech corps and governments.
What was really revealing was Tim Cook's answer on 60 minutes when pinned down about Apple's international tax strategies - why don't you being this money back to the US thereby making it taxable. His answer essentially: because I don't want to.
Privacy, tax avoidance, H1Bs - more showdowns to come.
- traskjd 11y ago>> because I don't want to. Well, he also doesn't HAVE to. If you don't HAVE to do something, especially if it's beneficial to not do that thing, why would you?
- empressplay 11y agoBecause you're a good person, perhaps?
- hueving 11y agoThat's not how taxes work. Why don't you donate extra money to the government that there is no law saying you have to pay?
- sigzero 11y agoNothing revealing about that. It's an obvious stance for Apple to take. Change the tax laws.
