Why should Apple pay any taxes to the US government for things it sells overseas? They already paid (or in this case, avoided) EU taxes on the sales in EU countries. If we're arguing about 'fairness', the EU should be getting approximately all of the taxes the Irish subsidiary allows Apple to avoid.
Double-taxing exports (1x from the US government, 1x from the country they are sold in) is a really bizarre policy, especially in this era of global trade.
