Congress cannot make any laws when people are cheering on and supporting what corporations already do.

And you don't have to do anything illegal to harm your families long term future. You just have to be short sighted.

It's quite the opposite. Congress makes laws to protect corporations. (i.e. Hollywood, TeleCos, Insurance, Health Care, etc...). It's not people championing and cheering companies for their business practices. I think you're confusing it with the way people might support companies by buying their products or services. But here's the trick question. When no company is truly good and your government, essentially wrote the book on the shareholders dilemma; who is really at fought?

Sounds like the government crying over milk they spilled.

Give me a break. When Rand Paul and his posse of clowns demand that Apple is owed an apology, they are the ones doing the confusing.

Like I said in my previous posts, the point the committee has made is multinational companies like Apple have a choice in how much tax they want to pay on profit.

This is the only point worth making. Any other point being raised about good or evil, competence, legality etc just distracts from ever addressing that point.
