Got to love it. The wall costing 70 billion to make is insane and outrageous and we can't afford it. Apple comes back to the US and we get 38 billion in tax revenue instantly and 350 billion future taxable revenue  and that is chump change.

It's actually not even chump change because no one will ever see that money thanks to tax breaks for Apple elsewhere. While the wall which initially should've cost nothing, now costs a minimum of 70bn, will do nothing and waste money that could've gone elsewhere. All while the government shuts down agencies and programs that actually do something but cost only a few billions.

There's no denying that Apple will benefit from this. But now I ask you, does that matter? If apple makes billions more, is it not worth it for the thousands of jobs that will be created? Or where you expecting that apple or any other big corp that is moving to the US to just make donations out of pure joy?

What the left dont see is that both the big guy and the little guy have to profit for us to move forward. The big guy may profit more, but that will always be the case. Give and take.
