Almost? And only major? And only companies?

Where does there exist a tax-paying entity that would NOT like to lower it's taxes?

I can't disagree with you, everyone wants their taxes to be as low as possible. Believe me I'm no fan of taxes. However, lower taxes for some equates to higher taxes for others, rich or poor.

But I have never understood why people pay so much more for Apple products.
Apple products are on par with any other device. To claim "so much more" would be incorrect.

I disagree in some cases. Show me something else that does what the iPod touch does as well as it does it.
For that matter, is there another tablet comparable to the iPad that performs as well, without PC-like complexity for consumer users?
(The former, I looked and could not find. The latter I'm curious about.)

Worthy of a good giggle. And there is an element of truth to it as well. There ain't a MNC on this planet that pays a penny more in taxes than they have to but Apple gets the headlines. When you're the richest corporation on the planet that's what tends to happen.
