    What did he do to Spain when they refused to let the US use their bases for attacking Iran? Oh, nothing? Fucking TACO.

    All profit needs to be taxed.

    The larger the profit, the larger the tax. Thats the ONLY way we can all continue to coexist peacefully in a society.

    That’s a very good indicator that taxing them is a good idea.

    Why don’t we finally revoke Intellectual property protections we granted under DCMA and TTIP. If Trump does not feel bound by these agreements neither should we.

      Doing away with intellectual property in its entirety would be such a good retaliation to this techno fascist bullshit

        Doing awey with IP in general would be a good idea as long as we move past this kind of capitalistic society we live in. Let’s share our ideas with everyone and advance.

      He can shoot himself in the dick instead, that’d be a fair substitute for me.

      As far as I know there is some tax loophole, that’s why the tech giants are all registered in Ireland for their EU headquarters.

        It’s called the Double Irish, sometimes with a Dutch Sandwich.

        Sell MacBook for €2000 in France, pay royalties to apple Ireland of €2000. Apple France has no profit, apple Ireland has little tax.

          There’s no need for an Apple France in this scheme.

          Apple isn’t selling physical goods in most European countries, Apple partners are. The Ireland entity is there for the digital services revenue mostly
