No wonder America is 16 trillions in debt.....

Not only does Apple make pricey hardware requiring system-specific third-party add-ins, it also makes a great and consistent profit, apparently because it's also very good at screwing Uncle Sam out of his taxes by employing artful and devious tax shelters in offshore havens whose scruples are slim to none.

They aren't alone, though - Google and Starbucks and other multinationals are also in there like a dirty shirt, screwing Uncle Sam and biting the hands that feed them. So America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, is also home to a crafty bunch of artful dodgers giving it the old corporate shaft with vigor and audacity. Why? Because - It's The American Way! In God We Trust - Everybody else pays cash. Apparently to Apple and Google and Starbucks, but not to Uncle Sam if they can help it - and they have been "helping it" every chance they got.
