Very interesting EJ. I didn't know this. Thanks. I agree.

I believe the Apple Tax Dodge theory is a media made up attention grabbing myth. If I were to research tax laws and attempt to explain tax laws, few readers would bother to read it, fearing not being able to understand. Instead I'm going to say that because of examples like Apple company avoiding taxes, trade within the establishment, between counties is centrally controlled. Counties get what they need depending on other counties ability to provide. Because money is no more than a token of exchange that tokens can be invented out of nothing, counties providing exporting resources, merely invent bank credits to pay for local labours. In many instances the costs of: mining; manufacturing; transporting; handling; to profit margin retailing, maybe more than wage earning customers are willing to pay. Query being, “is capitalism too good to be true”?
Intentional: inflation; market crashes; company bankruptcies; increased savings, removes increased bank credits' circulation and wealth.
As Australian finance media are often going on about monthly trade deficit figures adding up to many billions of dollars, particularly during the 1990s. I'd say there are few countries with trade surpluses, as I assume, all countries' media go on about debt. Displaying another example of government being in control of the magic.
Taxation rules regarding companies that are not part of the establishment must go through an enduring amount of taxation paperwork to ensure taxes are correctly invoiced and paid in the correct countries.

The Apple company symbol, a bite out of an apple, allows me to believe the Genesis bible story “Garden of Eden” forbidden fruit of knowledge, having Adam and Eve taking a bite, is where the Apple company logo came from. Two people, I have expressed this theory to says, “No, I'm wrong”. They say, Steve Jobs saw an apple with a bite taken out of it, concluded the image would be a good logo. Did Steve Jobs or someone else think of the Garden of Eden when deciding to use the image as a computer company logo?
