So- if there is anything unfair about this, it is that small companies that can't choose to relocate from Cali bear the tax burden. But it is ridiculous to make it look like Apple is avoiding paying its bills. Instead why don't we see this as a perfect case in point for why we should privatize government? If we paid government directly for its services rather than requiring it to parasitically suck cash as it is set up to now, then Apple would have to pay its fair share of the services rendered in Cali and elsewhere. But, it won't be billions, because "billions" is not a fair price to pay for what it gets from the government- at least, unless there is something it is getting that I don't know about.
