Perhaps if governments started penalising corporate tax avoidance by confiscating a percentage of a company's shares the shareholders would be incentivised to make sure whoever is running the company will pay taxes fairly.

And how should the government define “tax avoidance”? With tax law? Oh wait, they already do it, and you get pentalized if you break it.

The problem isn’t Apple, the problem is the government can’t get its act together to pass tax reform.
