Lots of these are misleading. It doesn't do any good to compare annual sales to market cap.


That was my thought when I saw the sales/tax comparisons. Comparing Apples with Oranges, if you'll pardon the pun :).


Yeah, this is just some silly fanboyism.

Comparing revenues to the inflated market cap of Apple is silly and meaningless. Apple's revenues aren't $370B. It's a completely different metric.


Hopefully facts like this will encourage the rest of america to realize they should be voting tech guys into office and not jackass lawyers.
