I think that we're once again going to have travel across the pond and kick some Euro ass, like we had to do before. It's been a while, but it looks like that time will maybe soon come again.

This is Ireland's mess and they need to deal with it and clean up their affairs. Either that, or lose a significant portion of their business dealings with various, big, multi-national companies.

Either Ireland is a country, or it's not.

Either the Irish control Ireland or the Belgians and Germans do. As more and more countries are finding out, being a part of the EU is ending up being a whole lot more than they bargained for or ever imagined.

There is also a rare, old US law that can be activated and used to punish Euro companies and citizens in the US. Perhaps it's time to dig out that old US law and apply it.

Apple generates profits in the EU and those profits have to be taxed properly (corporate Tax) somewhere.

So you're saying you don't believe in a level playing field for large and small companies?

Small companies cannot afford the international accountants that exploit these loopholes.
