My suggestion: the US should create a class of corporate trusts similar to the "canroys" that Canada has.
Under this setup, as long as a certain high percentage of the profits are distributed to the shareholders each year, the corporate taxes are non-existent or very low.
In this case, Microsoft would not pay much US taxes, but the individual investors would be the ones paying tax on the dividends received. End of problem.
