re: Apple CEO and CFO testify in front of Senate Committee on Tax Policy: Excerpts

Sen. Levin is pissed off because Apple is beating the system that Levin is part of and is taking advantage of everything afforded them under the current tax code. Levin is also pissed because Apple is taking away his tax crack-cocaine and raises the possibility that he (Levin) has to get his head out his arse and stop giving tax money (Apple's included) to undeserving entitlement recipients in order to get Sen. Levin's Democratic buddies re-elected. Apple is giving the United States tax code and it's entitlement programs a big "frick You". Apple produces a great product and holds itself accountable to its stock holders. Get it, Sen. Levin??

In essence, Levin is asking Apple to stop being so smart, ambitious and innovative and start being dumb and arrogant like us.
