I am not even sure how to respond. Didn't the fed just give them billions of dollars?
They are suing for $300,000,000. They don't want to overpay their taxes - on foreign earnings - which is one of the few legitimate taxable items.

I don't think anyone should have to pay more tax then they owe (and not less either). That said, I wouldn't be upset if they lost their suit.
