Why is the EU going after Apple now? They knew of this tax haven for years. It's the EU's fault for letting one of its members do this. The fact that they are trying to change the tax code in Ireland AND retroactively apply those laws is bananas.

If I take advantage of a tax loophole and the government closes that loophole, can they throw me in jail? Obviously people aren't companies but it sets dangerous precedent.
