Re: the rich being richer than them.
"Just look at the money Apple is retaining outside of the US because they don't want it taxed at current rates."
Why would Apple want to bring money into the US for it to be taxed and then sent out of the country again? Money that was earned by selling products built outside of the country to entities also outside of the country.
The US has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world and the politicians keep wanting it raised. This goes to show how much business is held in contempt by government.
