The government already did that (Google the "tax holiday"). And US companies promptly used the money to buy back stock instead of investing in US facilities or employees, which is why it is unlikely it will happen again.

The government has actually done it more than once. After the first time companies started saving up more cash in the expectation that it would happen again.
