Tim Cook to go before a Senate Committee on Tuesday to discuss Apple's corporate taxes

Apple CEO Tim Cook will go before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on Tuesday. He will offer prepared testimony (here, read it for yourself) on Apple’s tax situation.

I sat and pondered what I should write in response to this situation. Yes, Apple has create tens of thousands of jobs, but they are largely part-time retail jobs in Apple Stores. As for manufacturing jobs, which every Senator cries out for, Apple plans to start manufacturing components in Arizona and do final assembly in Texas. They will do the design here in California, same as they have for past models built overseas. We might ask our California politicians why those jobs are not coming to California.
