The magic phrase to me in the article is "Apple serves as a window on how technology giants have taken advantage of tax codes written for an industrial age and ill suited to today’s digital economy." So true.

Our laws, and not just tax laws, were not created for a digital environment. Throw in multinational corporations spanning the globe and many laws fall apart. I honestly have no idea how that can be fixed nor have I read a realistic proposal to do so. Everyone says "close the loopholes" but I've never seen a list of proposed loophole changes that was viable.
