They already have to deal with the highest federal taxes in the civilized world.

Gee, you mean Uberliberal Steve Jobs devised a strategy to avoid confiscatory taxation? Perish the thought.
Liberals talk a good game-- until it comes to their own money.

This kind of thing is the hallmark of a well run company.
I remember that their factory south of Sacramento had a rental space for people they got parts from. They never actually took delivery of a part until about 2 minutes before it got built into a Mac.

They observe incentives, then respond to those incentives.
ONLY bureaucrats are shocked by that —even kids running a Lemonaide stand learn this in one day.

Sure not going to cry about California missing out on some taxes. The state does nothing to earn them anyway.

The Slimes just couldn’t bring themselves to say “Legally Avoids” rather than “sidesteps”.Next we’ll find the government prevent Boeing from building a plant in....SOUTH CAROLINA!

“Liberals talk a good game— until it comes to their own money.”
BINGO. You hit the nail on the head. Conservatives were proven to be the ones who give more to charity but libtards are the stingiest when it comes to money. I work in L.A. and figured out for the longest time these clowns possess “rich man’s guilt”. That they cannot accept they got rich thru hard work and in order to appease that guilt, resort to lean left.

But,..but,.. Apple is a leftist, progressive, metro-homo, laid back all things good especially pot, screw the man group of funky guys and gals. Are they even a corporation? How could they possibly intentionally avoid taxes? don't they give all their profits to charity?
Can it be that leftie hypocrisy exists?

Jealousy reins at the NYT, where no one working there could qualify to be an Apple janitor.

Where’s Congress and their rabid calls for a “windfall profits tax?” I’d say Apple warrants a communist tactic like this FAR more than oil companies do. Much higher profit margin.

Does Nevada care?
Put it this way: everything we do outside California (living, working, running a business, investing) deprives California of the ability to tax us. In a sense we are all guilty of whatever problems California has because of their state revenue shortfall.

Having stood at an Apple bar, I can tell you that their business model is the bomb.
