I'm in favor of Apple. The government are being very selfish. Without Apple, the multi-billion dollar business would not belong in the US. I can't begin to imagine how many people they help by providing jobs, not only technical, but retail too.<p>I would rather let apple control its own money then let the US government control its money. The US government would spend it on going to war on shaky grounds, whereas Apple would use the money to invest into new and exciting technology to improve our lives in one way or another.
