Apple avoided paying billions of dollars in U.S. income taxes. A Senate investigation found the tech giant parked overseas about $102 billion of its $145 billion in cash. A subsidiary in Ireland that earned $22 billion in 2011 paid only $10 million in taxes, according to the report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. “It is a total scam,” Sen.
