In Iowa, the City of Waukee was bribed $100m by Apple to abate $170m in property taxes. Think about that. You pay a $1000 bribe to the city and they nerf $1700

In Iowa, the City of Waukee was bribed $100m by Apple to abate $170m in property taxes. Think about that. You pay a $1000 bribe to the city and they nerf $1700 of your property tax; screwing the local school district/county/state.
Massive brazen tax fraud.
Apple even bragged about the $100m bribe in their press release calling it an "endowment fund".
