On thing I wonder about all these proponents for Apple to voluntarily pay more taxes: do they themselves pay more taxes than strictly required of them?
I mean do they not take advantage of that child exemption? Do they not deduce that mortgage? Those medical costs? That college tuition? Those business expenses? Do they decide to voluntarily add at least 1% to their income tax bracket?
Do they practice what they preach?
- fastball 9y agoHonestly this point is so obvious but I hadn't thought of it myself.
- jaymzcampbell 9y agoThere is a world of difference in the moral intent of claiming tax credit that the government itself publicises in order to help the people in their society and the likes of "Double Irish" tax schemes. It saddens me that this argument is always rolled out. As a global population (not thinking about individual countries, however unrealistic) - it depresses me that people try to justify these blatant abuses of legislation.
