Imagine if companies actually paid their taxes. So many nice things we all could have.
Instead? Well yeah instead we have people with more money than money can ever buy of money. Nice.
I usually agree, but in this case it sounds like they did. Ireland set a low tax to attract companies. So apple opened an office there and hired thousands of workers. And paid their taxes. But the EU did not think that was fair and demanded more after the fact.
