If they are paying corporate taxes on the same revenue in another country, then they should get a break on it here. I don't know the law, but it feels like corporate tax law wasn't written with multi-national companies in mind. They are not movi…

I think we need to figure out how to fix this broken part of the tax code, but I'm all for frequent tax holidays until we figure out a better solution. As long as companies are onboard and will use this, lets do it. I think these tax holidays are …

Wouldn't it be interesting if they DID replace Intel processors in the Mac Book Pro with ARM... I'm imagining like sixteen A10 ARM processors with 64 total cores for $400 to manufacture...
