Apple's tax tactic shameful or smart? #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought about Apple not paying taxes on billions of dollars in earnings. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

If you or your company knows about loopholes to save money, you're going to use them. Any smart person would.

Even if it is legal, it's unfair. I pay almost 20% of my income in taxes, and I have nowhere close to billions of dollars.

— @GucciGallagher

It's not breaking the law, but it's morally wrong. Politicians make the laws; maybe they should tighten the rules so companies pay.

— @Rayosb

If companies do it legally, my problem is with Congress, not Apple.

— @josephmeadors

I think Apple is no different from any other multinational corporation. It, along with the super rich, knows loopholes.

— @ProudAmerican15

Apple is a major money maker for the USA. It pays billions in taxes already.

— @9kittens

Individuals use deductions to the fullest as well. And it isn't a loophole; it's a legal deduction.
