Taxation is the price of living (or participating in a market) in a developed country and benefiting from shared infrastructure. Apple needs somewhere for their distribution planes to land, their users need affordable electricity, no-one will buy new phones if they can’t afford to eat. Maybe we can obsolete airports, national energy grids and food distribution networks one day but until then, taxes need to be paid?
