Charles Schumer, one of the highest-ranking Democratic senators, said: "This is a cheap money grab by the European Commission, targeting US businesses and the US tax base. "

"By forcing their member states to retroactively impose taxes on US companies, the EU is unfairly undermining our ability to compete economically in Europe while grabbing tax revenues that should go toward investment here in the United States," he said.

Charles Schumer, clueless twit of the year? I wonder how he is connected to Apple Inc...

Apple (Apple Sales International in particular) is considered the "grandmaster of tax evasion" by pretty much everyone. Hence they are first in line. Next in line are Starbucks and Fiat.

Ireland is considered first in line of those countries that offer illegal (by EU laws) "tax incentives" to companies (of any origin, this is not about the US as this Schumer troll seems to think). Next in line are Luxemburg and Gibraltar.

We will see an unusual alliance of Apple and Ireland to fight against the EU it seems..
