This is a huge story.

Hey Obama? Why didn’t you bring all that cash back? Your buddy Tim was your friend! You could have given him a break.

APPLE to bring back over $200 billion and pay $38 billion in tax to do it ....

this is just terrible, the middle class will end up paying for it all... and their grandchildren will be stuck with the bill.

it almost feels like Armageddon of the dimocrat party.

And Apple is just one of hundreds of companies making similar investments since the Trump Tax Bill of 2017 was passed and signed. And it's only January 18th, 2018.

Here's a peek:

Quote:
Apple Inc. said it will bring hundreds of billions of overseas dollars back to the U.S., pay about $38 billion in taxes on the money and spend tens of billions on domestic jobs, manufacturing and data centers in the coming years.

The iPhone maker plans capital expenditures of $30 billion in the U.S. over five years and will create 20,000 new jobs at existing sites and a new campus it intends to open. The Cupertino, California-based company’s shares rose 1.7 percent to a record closing price of $179.10.

“We are focusing our investments in areas where we can have a direct impact on job creation and job preparedness,” Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said in a statement Wednesday, which also alluded to unspecified plans by the company to accelerate education programs.

Apple also told employees Wednesday that it’s issuing stock-based bonuses worth $2,500 each following the new U.S. tax law, according to people familiar with the matter.

Crumbs, crumbs, crumbs. No matter what Apple does, they're the ones going to keep 99.9% of the tax cuts benefits.

Probably where the minimum wage laws are not as out wack as they are here.

No freaking burger flipper is worth $15 and hour. Period.

They are going to use machines and cut their labor force in half. When burger flippers get $15/hr, most other things go higher as well..
