Too bad Apple is keeping most of their cash in China (a fact)

Maybe if we didn't have such an abusive corporate tax rate they would
repatriate some of that money and perhaps, make something here.
Abusive tax rate? You haven't been keeping up have you. Over fifteen
hundred Corporations paid no tax. If a corporation is paying the 35%
they better get a new tax accountant. When they do pay taxes, everything
including the kitchen sink is deducted before taxes.
Individuals usually pay a higher rate.
This spiel is getting old. Surprised many still swallow it.
If they make their money here, on Americans, they should pay their taxes
here to support the Republic. If they paid their share everyone else
could pay less, in theory.

If I have $100 billion in China and I pay 15% tax in China I have $85
billion. Then when I repatriate that money I pay 35% on my $100 billion
leaving me with $50 billion. Why would I ever want to lose half of my
profits just to bring the money to the USA?

If they want to sell products in this country, they should have to pay
their fair share of taxes like everyone else.

Should we in turn pay taxes to all of the countries that we export to?

Never said "export to." They have a going concern and are
headquartered here. They should pay taxes here.

Um, do you not think that in order to sell products in this country that
a foreign entity would have to export those products here???

I do, however, Apple is not a "foreign entity" last I checked. I
believe they're headquarters is in Cupertino, unless they've made
Delaware their official address.

But if they make profits elsewhere, then maybe they should move
elsewhere to be closer to profitable customers.

Seems like paying your bills with real money is no longer the accepted

Dummy... I'm sure they pay taxes elsewhere for doing business
elsewhere. A huge percentage of their sales are in the US. They're a
US-based corp. I guess you're unaware of things like cost accounting
and such. Well, you're an idiot.
