Apple set for showdown on Capitol Hill over corporate taxes
New York (CNNMoney) - Apple executives are set to defend the company's tax practices and call for corporate tax reform on Capitol Hill Tuesday amid harsh criticism following a Senate investigation.
A report released Monday by Senators John McCain, R-Arizona, and Carl Levin, D-Michigan, charged that Apple "has used a complex web of offshore entities - including three foreign subsidiaries the company claims are not tax resident in any nation - to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. income taxes."

Take food out of starving babies mouths. Allow those babies to die, due to a lack of adequate health care and housing. But lets provide billions of dollars in corporate welfare to multibillion dollar corporations that gross hundreds of millions of dollars in annual profits. What a Christian nation are we!!!
Apple is not alone !
I don't mind lowering their taxes if they bring the jobs back to this country that they shipped overseas. We need more things made here.
Global companies are able to do that. If Congress doesn't like it, they can figure out how to prevent it. I haven't heard them criticize any OTHER company........why is THAT?????
Apple will just have to pay the price for making a profit. If they never need a bailout they're out of reach.
Don't forget GE while you're at it.

Wow, Apple doesn't want to pay U.S.A. Taxes, Wants to Pay Chinese Workers 28 cents an hour. What happened to Corporations benefitting someone. Looks like Apple only wants to benefit itself. Oh...maybe that benefits only the ....Wall Street investors...the Evil of all Evils... Apple is really Evil like Monsanto
And the GOP wants to give the "job creators" MORE tax breaks.
Redo the entire tax-code. Watch attorneys too for unethical practices–nab.
