        Their profit margins on iphones are absurd and they don't pay taxes? What a terrible company.

        But here in Silicon Valley those things are funded by individuals’ taxes. Corporations benefit big from Proposition 13.

        For those who don’t know, property taxes are effectively frozen in CA. Land value rises astronomically, taxes stay the same.
