The weak tax structure is only giving incentive to the big corporation to act in a similar way as apple did over here. The focus should be on strengthening the loopholes rather than pointing out who is taking advantage of such loopholes.Utsavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897620386923128353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800861115237125074.post-47000128414820085272014-04-29T16:41:03.185-04:002014-04-29T16:41:03.185-04:00Sanjay you beat me to it, I agree with everything ...Sanjay you beat me to it, I agree with everything you just posted.

Apple is maximizing shareholder value by pursuing these strategies, and that is one of the fundamental purposes of a company according to traditional theory. The problem in my opinion is why these loopholes exist at all. Outrage against Apple, I think would be misdirected. Outrage about the loopholes, however, is more appropriate in my opinion.
