The point is, paying their legally mandated share is not necessarily paying their fair share

By what standard, other than tax law, can the fair amount of tax be determined?

[AnimalMuppet]

By some assumed standard of morality. "Fair" tax can never be determined by tax law - only "legal" can be determined that way.

[kazinator]

There exists a fair tax: the user fee. Pay for what you use. (But then we are still reduced to bargaining over what is a fair price).

Insurance is also a form of fair tax, when premiums are based on claim history and objective risk factors, and the market is reasonably competitive.

Are any companies paying their ‘fair share’ then?

Can you show me a single example of a company paying more than it’s legally mandated share?

If not - why pick on Apple?
