Well, our Supreme Court decided that corporations are people. But it didn’t say that they should be good people.

Let’s hope I’m not biting more than I can chew.

No kidding! These other companies should probably be called to the hearing along with Apple, but since this hearing isn’t really going to make Apple to pay more, I don’t really see the point. The only problem is that because all these companies don’t pay their share in taxes, you and I, and anyone without their resources to hide profits in offshore tax havens, have to pick up the tax tab.

I think you are too kind to most non-rich taxpayers. I’m sure a lot of us do feel some serious hesitation while doing our taxes: if the tax amount doesn’t give us pause, the complexity of the process certainly does :)
I intentionally avoid all Apple products, because I fear it would put me into an airtight bubble of Apple products and apps (iTunes, iCloud, etc.). I’m a little too claustrophobic for that. So yes, I had posted this list from my Samsung, because my wife’s iPhone for some reason wouldn’t let me do it.

Ideally, we should, but at this point it’s probably not worth the effort. I mean, what are the chances that a Tea Party-dominated (or highly influenced) primary will produce a candidate who is genuinely interested in making the government work better for everyone?

Yes, I remember a lot of people complaining about that, though never in a form of a poem.

I know, Senator Paul was very unhappy that such a good corporate citizen as Apple should have to answer any questions about not paying taxes. It reminds me of another congressman who apologized to BP for the unfair way they were treated after they had poisoned practically the entire Gulf of Mexico. These people seem to regard the corporations as some immaculately holy entities, so it’s painfully obvious that they never had to deal with any company’s 1-800 customer service in their life.

Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. And please also don’t be alarmed if ever in the middle of the night you wake up on your boat to find a strange man with a bag and a flashlight rummaging through your stuff. It’s just… ummm, boat maintenance.
