Apple did not create the tax loopholes, and there should be no expectation whatsoever that they should pay a higher tax bill than they're legally required to do. Not only because of their fiduciary duty to their shareholders, but also because paying more taxes than necessary puts them at a competitive disadvantage against companies that don't pay more taxes than necessary. As I said in my original comment, if you have a problem with the laws, take it up with the people who create the laws, not the people who follow them.
