I’m not an Apple person, but Rand is right. To paraphrase him, Congress needs to be talking to a mirror to discuss what is wrong.
McCain was senile twenty years ago.
“Offense is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” Samuel Johnson
McCain is a national disgrace.
The longer he remains on the public stage, the more he’s going to destroy himself.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving troll.
John McCain is offensive.
Sen. John McCain continues to demonstrate why he should have retired. He likes to jump on the bandwagon to support popular and common attacks on free enterprise. He, and others, have no time to read bills or do intelligent, common sense research.
It is true that Apple accounts for 2.5% of the entire tax revenue for the USA? Is Apple already paying $16 million a day in taxes?
Senator Rand Paul is absolutely correct! Why is the "fair share" a moving target, and always increasing? Why do not the Senators explain in plain English their understanding of the current tax code? The very tax code they put into law in order to make sure all are paying their "fair share."
I fimd john mccain frankly offensive and embarrassing. Wonder how he’d like to have seen his late father-in-law dragged in there...OR MAYBE HIS NUTTY WIFE.
At least McCain will love Rand on Illegal Alien Amnesty
And McCain is working to give Apple more cheap coolie labor...so why the upset, Hanoi John ?
Yes, Apple should pay their taxes like any company should do. Doesn’t Cindy McCain have her family fortune in some type of trust to avoid paying-> taxes. He can call out Apple though his wife benefits from tax law loopholes that government allowed to be there. McCain is pretending to be fair when he enjoys those loopholes himself. McCain is crashing and burning. He will end up being one of the most hated (for his betrayal of conservatism) republicans ever following Lindsey, Jeff Flake then naive Rubio.
I have not been following the Apple story, but it’s very simple. Either they illegally evaded federal taxes, which is a crime, or they legally avoided federal taxes, which is their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders and their moral responsibility to Americans. In the second and much more likely case, it’s the fault of Congress for writing such stupid and intricate laws.
McCain needs to switch parties or become Obama’s taster/bodyguard.
Apple is just another example of liberals taxing the rest of us while they do all they can to avoid.....hypocrites. Still I can get excited about giving the gov. more money to throw down a rat hole!!!
From the comments section: “Why is Cindy McCain’s fortune in a Trust if not to avoid taxes?”
McLame is just an operative for Obama. He has been promised a cushy job Secretary of the Navy.
I’m offended by John McCain. Fight the real battle, as our freedoms slip away under a communist regime in the White House, he is “offended” by Rand Paul standing up for capitaliism! Shame on YOU John McCain!
they better stop using the idiot word “offensive” Rand used it too, it makes a person sound stupid
McCain has fully bought into the socialist agenda. Corporate monetary success = bad. Gubmit giveaways = good
Oh McCain.....You've done it again!!!
I am offended that mcbunghole is still a free man. I can now see why the NV tortured his sorry arse... they hated him too. There is nothing to like within that demon. Retire you pos traitor.
