It would be criminal if they dodged it all and should pay their fair way. I know they spend a fortune on R and D but it is all built in. A phone to actually put together with all it s parts was in the region of $2.50. Even if you multiplied it by 10 it just shows the profit that these guys make.
Trump tried to get them to come back with a tax sweetener and this may just do it now.

Thats the reason we are appealing. 5000 employees with an average wage of 44k a year which is a very high average. (nomally around 38k). Thats alot of money per year in taxes.

That would be a huge chunk of revenue lost. Maybe they drop it by a billion as a sweetener but can't see it honestly. The back door dodging tax thing is not good and doesn't look good.
