      Apple also doesn't pay taxes. What are people supposed to do for work? Don't say everyone learn to code. Facebook employs less than 20,000.https://twitter.com/cghgreen/status/829393788619673607 …

      The new economy is mostly based on not paying taxes while employing very few people directly and high paying jobs almost solely for coders.

      Pay taxes at appropriate levels; employ many people in stable good jobs; have stability in countries you operate. Pick two, Silicon Valley.

      A worthy goal! But not possible without taxes to pay for health care, education etc. that allow people to seek that.https://twitter.com/graiz/status/829690421286670338 …

      Historically, this never *just* happened. What stability we had was via specific taxation & infrastructure policies.https://twitter.com/christopherburd/status/829721253040623616 …

      We've relied on capitalism to provide the underpinnings of stable community—good jobs for the many—but it doesn't do that any more.

          I take your point, but even unregulated 19C capitalism created mass employmt, often at good wages. No longer, at least in the West.

          the labor movement, pretty much dead in the US, + foreign postwar markets helped this.

          @christopherburd A specious statement. The USSR and Venezuela had “specific taxation and infrastructure policies.”

          Fair; it's not just Apple. It's industry-wide. Yes, Apple paid a tiny bit of taxes—0.005% tax on its global profits. https://twitter.com/steriana/status/829724839392927744 …

          Look, it's not the only thing, but there is a direct link with this model (employ few at good jobs; pay little taxes) & current instability.
