(29,067 posts)I wasn't trying to be "holier than thou", Tesha...My main
reason for not buying Apple is not because of their tax status but
because of workers at Foxconn are mistreated as WELL as the
fact that Jobs took those jobs overseas.

Unlike yourself, it seems, I keep my "tax evading 'slave labor'" using
patronage to a minimum.
