The European Commission is demanding that Apple pay Ireland €13bn in back taxes. They are attempting to retroactively change a tax agreement made with Apple years ago that the EU now says is cheaper than any other member so that’s not fair as it would attract business to Ireland. The EU is clearly trying to impose […]
The new conspiracy theory running around claims that the European Union was a CIA project. This serious distortion misses the entire point.
