I agree that they should pay what's due. Absolutely. Although I think in this case that is very murky because of the agreement they have with Ireland. I think the only fair thing to do in this situation is to tax apple going forward but to not punish Apple for assuming that an agreement with Ireland was valid. That one is on the Irish government not Apple. I was simply replying to the parent post saying "My small business has to" since if there is going to be an emotional argument I think it should be in the other direction. "I shouldn't have to pay either" vs "They should pay what I pay"
