Forcing Apple to pay the same tax rate as other companies will lead to the destruction of Europe, according to its not-entirely objective CEO Tim Cook.
"This would strike a devastating blow to the sovereignty of EU member states over their own tax matters, and to the principle of certainty of law in Europe," Cook said in a statement, adding: "Beyond the obvious targeting of Apple, the most profound and harmful effect of this ruling will be on investment and job creation in Europe."
On Tuesday, the electronics giant was hit with a massive $14.5 billion tax bill following a two-year investigation into the unusual arrangement Apple had reached with the Irish tax authorities that saw it pay an extraordinary 0.005 per cent tax rate in 2014.
I predict that Trumpkins will conveniently forget their master's call for a boycott of Apple and yip their anger at the EU like the loyal little lapdoggies they are.
