2013-05-21
you swear that the testimony you're about to give will be the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth so help you God I do so help me God we pay all the taxes we owe every single dollar we not only comply with the laws but we comply with the spirit of the laws we don't depend on tax gimmicks we don't move intellectual property offshore and use it to sell our products back to the United States to avoid taxes we don't stash money on some Caribbean island unfortunately the tax code has not kept up with the digital age we recommend a dramatic simplification of the corporate tax code this reform should be revenue neutral eliminate all corporate tax expenditures lower corporate income tax rates and implement a reasonable tax on foreign earnings that allows the free flow of capital back to the United States can you understand there's a perception of unfair advantage here mr. Cooke sir I see this is a very complex topic that I'm glad that we're having the discussion and but I honestly speaking I don't see it as being unfair i'm not an unfair person that's not who we are as a company or who i am as an individual and so I i would not preside over that honestly I don't see it in that way I thank you i'm at a time what I really want to ask is why the hell I have to keep updating the apps on my iphone all the time and why you don't fix that I thank you mr. chairman third we're trying to make them better all the time
