Companies 'depriving' countries from taxes???

"The pact deprived other European countries of billions of euros in unpaid taxes" ~ Margrethe Vestager, EU Commissioner for Competition

Apple to EU: You can have taxes or you can have jobs, but you can't have both.

How much tax was paid by the employees of Apple in Ireland? Income tax, sales tax, etc from the wages earned working at the company? How much would they have paid if they didn't have those jobs?

Why should "other European countries" benefit from a country in Ireland (other than the obvious EU - and now we know why Great Britain chose Brexit!)

What are the infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc) pressures (costs) a company like Apple puts on the EU and how much is "unpaid"?

The EU's whole intent is to redistribute wealth - not create it.

When will we follow this concept?


Until then, we are not diverse and we are racist - both white racist and black racist. We are HUMANS - all of us. Most good, some bad. 

This interview is 11 years old. Civil rights passed in the 1960's. The emancipation proclamation, 100 years earlier. Speeches, laws, months will not change the blindness of humans. Until each of us - individuals - realize the above (we are all HUMANS) we are lost. 

Proof of OJ's innocence?

Attorney Carl Douglas, a member of O.J. Simpson's legal "dream team" that secured his acquittal, on Friday called the story "ridiculous." 
"It's amazing how the world can not move on from this case! And it in the media, is apparently still fascinated by everything O.J. Simpson," Douglas said. 
Didn't OJ want to find the 'real' killer? What if this is the actual murder weapon and it unequivocally exonerates him - and maybe actually leads to the arrest and conviction of the 'real' killer? Wouldn't that be a great thing?
The fact that his attorney is already dismissing this potential evidence speaks volumes to his/their belief that the 'real' killer is still out there.
