The vast majority of Apple dividends are paid to investors, not employees.

The "worst labor" are jobs that are so much better than typically brutal Chinese rural labor jobs that thousands of applicants stand in line for hours to get them. And Apple audits its labor practices, unlike solely owned Chinese companies.

And the corporate tax rate has never been 80% in the U.S. it was 40-46% in the 1980s and highest ever was 53% in late 1960s. And corporate tax rates were lower than todays rates for the first 163 years of U.S. history, they were first raised above 20% in 1940 to help fund the war.

And even though the current corporate tax rate is historically low, it's still an impediment to returning foreign profits. Repatriating foreign profits costs a minimum of 21%, more with state taxes. For companies it's still cheaper (and legal) to keep the profits in their foreign subsidiaries and wait for a repatriation window, or borrow against some of the deposits to pay dividends.
