Hypocritical scum. Same guys that "take the higher ground" and bash trump.
This world is all smoke n mirrors.

Indeed, scum of the earth. We die protecting these POS, fund their Trillions, and do they give what is owed, no

Tim Cook says this tax loop hole is legal. If so, shouldn't people try to change the tax laws instead of attacking Tim Cook?

wait... did they break the law? I am not seeing where they did anything illegal.
the obligation of Apple's legal and financial team is to find every loop hole in the laws and take advantage. If there is an issue then change the laws

One is not disputing that they are within the bounds of the law.
However, laws and morals do not always coincide. Something can be a law, yet still be immoral and/or unethical.
I think the OP was bringing up this behavior from a moral moralistic/ethical perspective.

That's fine. I've got no problem with that.
But, they also shouldn't criticize other companies, businesses, and business owners that do the same.

If the Op is expecting morality from a company then I might suggest that he is looking in the wrong place.
Apple and most companies would only exhibit morality as a mean of generating more profit.
And to go even further, the public is being mislead in this whole process. This is one of those election year topics and talking points to get the mass excited about change. This bill will die on the senate floor if it even gets that far.
here are the other popular talking points of elections years.
1. I will made the school system great
2. I will cut your taxes and raises taxes on the rich.
3. I will bring back manufacturing jobs to the US.
4. I will make these evil corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
5. I will create high paying technical jobs
6. I will stop the evil bankers
etc etc

Correct SF. They are fueled by greed

Tim Cook says Apple makes most of their money outside of America anyway. And he says the taxes are way too high in America. Why on Earth is Apple building a massive Campus HQ in America then? Have you guys read up on the HQ Apple is building in CA? The place is going to have 100,000 foot gym. lol.

Truth. Corporations should use all necessary tools to make profit as long as they stay within the limits of the law. But those who push the limits shouldn't cast stones at other greedy corporations.
