Diageo, which owns Guinness, is a British corporation. Thus, it is hardly surprising that the US government does not tax it on sales in Ireland.
Google, on the other hand, is an American corporation.

Yes, and Google was very much involved in the recent controversy in Britain over taxation of multinationals. The British are very much aware that they have a tax haven right next door. And they're no happier about it than we are.
