They made the choice when they made the deal with Apple...

Do you want jobs or confiscatory taxes? You can't have both.

But all of the Mainland EU members need to bleed their working citizens and companies dry in order to take care of all the refugees pouring in.

Just like The Liberal/Socialist/Progressive/Democrats in the USA need to bleed working citizens and companies in order to buy votes from their "gimme,gimme,gimme's" and "Dindunuffin" supporters.

You can't get money out of cash poor, non-American companies. Time to pony up, no matter how illegitimate the reason. That's the European way! Ask Microsoft and Google.
