Apple probably should just be required to give back most of its huge cash reserves to its shareholders. It would stimulate investment elsewhere in the economy and stop Apple from gobbling up potential competitors. This doesn't just apply to Apple (Facebook, looking at you) but given the size of their cash holdings, they're the most obvious. If we want to not have trillion dollar companies, forcing dividends and reducing the ability to snap up growing companies is one way of making it happen. Of course those whose lifegoal is to get their startup snapped up for enough money to retire at 23 are going to be opposed to this.
