Am I reading the story correctly? Apple was given government permission to structure their business a certain way so they would not owe certain taxes, and now the government has changed its mind and wants to rule that they owe more than a decade in back taxes?
I'm all for mega corporations paying fines for breaking the law, but this seems like overreach. A government shouldn't punish someone for doing something that that they only did because the government said they could.
