AAPL (Apple) to repatriate $200 of $252 Billion to US?

[martybegan]

Here, naive right wing morons......The tax scam is a WINDFALL for rich conglomerates...........LOL

Companies who aim to "repatriate" their billions to the U.S. are more likely to use any cash they do bring home to pay down debt, buy back shares or hike dividends. All of those moves would help boost a company's share price, and increase the value of stock and options given to top executives. But they won't do anything to build new factories or create jobs.

It would pay off pension funds, 401k funds, and make the company more economically secure, which results in them being more willing to expand if the market conditions call for it.

Plus those executives will hopefully throw big parties, go out more, and buy houses, yachts etc thus adding more $$ to the economy.

don't they do that ALREADY with the millions they have on hand????

DO YOU really believe in trickle down being a way to spur the whole economy and good paying jobs for the little guy? IF so, why? what can be shown to validate that?

What I don't believe is taxing one's way to prosperity by using that $$ to increase the size of government.

Rich people having more $$ means rich people spending more $$.

the gvt has been growing whether the tax dollars exist or not, and it's is BETTER to pay for it than to borrow and simply pass it off to our future generations....imo

Or we reduce the federal government down to where it is supposed to be constitutionally.

Crazy, I know.

When taxes go up the only people who make $$ are those who work for the government.

DIVERSION........NO ONE was talking about taxes going UP;

A decent administration (which Trump's is SURELY NOT) would have stated:

We are keeping the current tax rate since our economy is doing exceptionally well (also thanks to Obama)....and we will ear mark some of this revenue to either:

a. Pay down our debt...or/and

b. Fix our crumbling infrastructure

Instead we have a tax scam where MOST of additional borrowed dollars will go as payouts to rich donors.

BULLSHIT !!!! The very fucking topic of this thread points out that "rich people" SHIP the money overseas into tax havens........
This is like a bizzarro world with you right wingers

True......the founding fathers were vehemently against the FAA.......lol

that might be the stupidest thing I have seen you post, and that is a very high bar.

I think I will wait till I hear it from Apple to put on my party hat.

Okay. Put on the lampshade and dance on the table.

Here's Tim Cook's idea for bringing back the billions of dollars US tech companies have stashed overseas

 

[frigidweirdo]

If this keeps up, I WILL get tired of all this WINNING

no

no I won't...

AAPL likely to repatriate $200B foreign cash, says GBH, adding predictable Netflix speculation

A GBH research note seen by us predicts that Apple is likely to take advantage of the tax break on repatriated overseas cash to bring back around $200B of its $252B foreign cash hoard.

So, Apple move money back to the US, they buy Netflicks, the shareholders of Netflicks then make it rich and move abroad and spend their money elsewhere.

Yeah, winning.

All the while Apple has just fucking made it rich by not paying taxes again. Yeah, more winning (for Apple, not for the US).

 

[nat4900]

The same corrupt tax laws that allowed American companies to send their profits overseas into tax havens........NOW, are labeling these same companies to be heralded as "heroes" for bringing some of their money back to buy-back their stocks so that top management can get HUGE bonuses.......

AMAZING .....(yeah, some heroes.)

He promised tax cuts as part of his campaign, he delivered.

And how butthurt you Statist twats get about it is just icing on the cake.

Funny how much you care about debt now....LOL

And if you want infrastructure fixed removing some of the regulations making it more expensive and slow is a good start, which Trump is doing.

Wanker.

Lol. Your jealousy is out there for all to see.

Too bad it isn't directed at progressive government assholes who are the real threat to our society.

 

[Dschrute3]

It's a positive development. Thank you President Trump.

Considering planes cross state lines, the FAA is a viable agency.

We don't need a giant Department of Education, however, when each State already has one.

Nice non-content response, it's what I have grown to expect from you.

Twat.

Haha, the butthurt of Nat is reaching new heights here - again!

As we all knew, the un-Americans knew that the tax cuts would work. And now, as they work, they are really pissed.

People keeping their own money works. Leftist scam artists looting the money doesn't.

 

[nat4900]

Sure, Mr. fuck head....I'm "jealous" that Apple is stashing billions overseas....
"Brilliant" deduction, asshole.......(Go to bed, your senility is showing.....LOL)

 

[Care4all]

which results in them being more willing to expand if the market conditions call for it.

NO, nitwit.....the only reason for "expanding" their businesses is if there is consumer demand.......and since consumers are getting virtually crumbs......demand will not occur and expansion would be stupid. Trickle down is the concept that only a 5 years old would make.

It's not trickle down it injecting money into the economy.

When taxes go up the only people who make $$ are those who work for the government.

How so?

Please explain to me what these corporate tax cuts are "working" to do? and for whom does it benefit? The Nation? The whole middle class? The lower class? the upper class? The government? The US Banks?

Any type of income tax is unconstitutional
