Seeking Alpha looks at whether the EU's Antitrust Commission can even enforce its ruling and has any basis in EU law for what the Commission is ruling and finds it is lacking in legal basis for the Apple retroactive taxation. Quite an interesting read. And surprise, no, the EU is not a national government. The EU really has no power to enforce the ruling of its commission! — PING!

I'm conflicted here.

Apple: a fag agenda, crony company
European Union: 100% GLOBALIST
Taxes: always bad because they finance the above

That seems to be a misrepresentration, whether by agenda or ignorance. The EU does not tax corporations or individuals. It does, however, oversee that national tax laws are applied correctly.
