>Apple pays more US tax than almost any other corporation It's not about what you pay. It's about what you owe. In Apple's case, Apple owes a lot more than it pays. Tax avoidance == leeches.

Suppose Elon is a bad guy. What's to stop him from dragging a big space rock into orbit and holding the planet hostage in X years? Government will build in redundant checks and balances at extra expense. Corporations, not so much.

Why does Apple have to steal from an iOS developer? It's not like they couldn't afford to just buy the rights. This isn't even new for Apple. They've ripped off their biggest supporters for years. See sherlock/watso
