But it's still pretty bad that the rich MS shareholders can benefit from schemes like these, while employees can't.

I'm not defending MS at all, but it's not correct to say "I'm contributing 40% plus corporation tax while Microsoft contributes nothing".

I'm not saying that, I'm saying the opposite. But perhaps you're referring to what someone else said.
