Vox: Apple could get a staggering $47 billion windfall from the tax bill
- Thread starter Lime
- Start date
Lol. Same thought. I hope they pull up those bootstraps and get back to it.
$47 billion that they can then reinvest into competitive bonus packages to retain top talent at the executive level. Think of all the jobs that will open up as a handful of executives suddenly find themselves needing new yachts and jets?
Yes, the poor people at the top of Apple really need this money infusion to stay alive. =/
Honestly, I already think Apple has to much cash and especially the jobs they contribute will get reduced with automation eventually. Therefore they will earn even more while also employing less people. =/
Yep, we really need to get rid of social security and medicare to help the great innovators over at Apple. It's what Jesus would have wanted.
Its okay.
All the people who were forced to vote for Donald Trump due to economic anxiety will simply turn on him.

Nope. They will blame everyone else. Sarcasm I'm sure but they will and it is absolutely terrible.
There are going to be some mighty fine bonuses given out in the future
the trickle is going to be glorious

responsible for 2 mio jobs sounds like they are counting app devs etc. as well.
Poor people should pay less, rich people and corporations should pay more. But it's the other way around. How's this fair?
Edit hngghhhhhhh that trickle down money......get in my belly

Well yes, they say so right on that page if you scroll down a bit.
Easiest way to generate internet anger: Add Apple to the headline.
Public companies don't owe you shit. They work for stockholders and themselves. They aren't going to actively give money away because it's the morally right thing to do.

Here's Tim Cook's quote they cite in the article:
This is related to the tax applied to money made overseas by US companies that gets taxed when those companies bring it back into the US.

That companies themselves wouldn't re-invest money saved from tax cuts is a weak refutation of the claim that tax cuts would increase investments. As mentioned in the article, the plan would be to return the money to shareholders. What the shareholders would then do with the money isn't certain, but it is entirely reasonable to expect that much of it would be re-invested in some other venture.
This is the ironic bit.
Big Bill was always painted as the bad guy. M$ ended up being a force for good.
Apple is just greed to me.
Just to be more evil they should do this.

Apple gets the tax cut and the receiver of the tax cut is evil. Apple is only getting that amount because they earn the most. The tax cut proportionally is the same for amazon, google , Oracle etc etc but no one seems to care that all other big tech companies got same proportional cut, let's make it about the biggest one and single them as evil. If we go by fairly, every single successful us company is evil by this definition and we should stop using them
Apparently it's also the easiest way to get people to defend companies hiding billions of dollars because they make gud phones.
You mean every major tech company in existence in US that you you also own a product of proudly. Same story for each company and each complaining individual
Which phone do you use
The sooner people truly realize this, the sooner we can actually tackle wealth inequality in this country.
Correct, all of these tech companies pretend to be bastions of progress and equality while secretly pushing GOP tax agendas so they can harbor more of their money and profit their shareholders. Fuck 'em all. We shouldn't be defending any of them with "well others do it so..."
Hey Apple, I'll switch to iPhone and shill for you if you give some of that cash you ain't using.
Pretty gross companies will get this kind of tax cut.

That 47 billion should have gone to pay for education, universal healthcare and provide food for millions. Apple won't be hiring any more people than they have to. Anyone who believes in trickle down bullshit is a fraud and it shames me that as a country we keep falling for this same delusion each time.
Those poor rural people with unrealistic dreams of grandeur who keep voting for republicans. They are truly mentally ill.

You underestimate the true scope of ignorance in this country. Not even joking, the biases are as crippling as they apparent.
