well if you think that you are a proud US citizen who somehow has Apple/Google, I think they actually pay their taxes in Ireland?

"When a customer buys an Apple product outside the United States, the profit is first taxed in the country where the sale takes place. Then Apple pays taxes to Ireland, where Apple sales and distribution activity is executed by some of the 6,000 employees working there. Additional tax is then also due in the US when the earnings are repatriated."

of course as means of power like NSA-level information you have them :)
