Stop Lobbying for a Tax Holiday

The Issue

Dear Apple Inc.,

The 99% recently became aware that you are currently using your power as the 1% to lobby the U.S. Government for a tax holiday that would amount to $4 Billion. We the 99% are very sad to learn this about one of our favorite, most esteemed companies. You see, we the 99% are hurting, and our government is living beyond its means, so when a large powerful company such as yourself gets a tax holiday, it is the rest of us little people who make up the 99% who are burdened with more than our fair share of the debt. Therefore we are imploring you, Apple Inc. to be a good citizen, a good neighbor, and a good person, and pay your taxes. In return we anticipate excitedly standing in line to buy the next revolutionary iThing.

Sincerely,
your biggest fans, the 99%
xoxo
