It's cute to see how politicians believe that Americans still think that Congress somehow represents the people. If we don't stand up for our own rights, no one will...
I don't often agree with Tim, but I do on this one

Yes, is the allegation. But Tim Cook saying that they obey the laws and the quote have nothing to do with what the case is about

So you're saying that it doesn't matter that they obeyed the laws? What is this case about then if they're trying to punish Apple in spite of them obeying the laws?

Reading some of these comments I would have to believe that most wouldn't want to see additional taxes levied on the wealthy or businesses in the US just because they happen to have more and work within the rules and the existing laws. Why should they pay more just because of a flawed system? I happen to agree that if a business or individual is operating within the confines of the law they should be left alone and not be specifically targeted with special laws and taxes. In short, fix the system. I'm just a little surprised because over the last few year the "in thing" has been to attack the successful and make them pay "their fair share".

I'm ok with making the successful pay their fair share, just not retroactively. Sometimes it requires special laws or taxes to correct the broken system that current laws couldn't anticipate their ability to get around them.

I don't understand this.
