Why are you blaming the tax code? I think the problem originates in the loss of economic sovereignty of nations after signing countless FTAs. It is only because of that reason that Apple and Google can play nations against each other to dodge taxes. What has happened in the last 30 years is that laws has been passed that allow these multinationals to operate as such while at the same time everyone else is still limited by national borders. Why is it so easy for these corporations to open and close subsidiaries everywhere as they please? Oh right, something to do with the (misguided) liberal ideal that foreign and domestic investors should be treated equally, completely ignoring the fact that the foreign investor is not tied to the nation in the same way that the domestic investor is.
