Amazon paid no federal taxes at all in In 2018 and 2019. And they only payed 1.2 % of their income as tax in 2020. So why should Bezos care how high the tax rate is? It would hardly affect him at all.

Now, the small business owner - that poor slob will be paying out the nose.

Why should that asshat care? Because the higher the rate the more it hurts his competition that can't afford the army of CPA's and kiss-butt democrat lobbyists..

Not if the owner passes the tax increase to customers via higher prices, which cause inflation.

I all the years I was a business owner we raised prices only when technology changed or the government raised corporate taxes. We worked really hard to keep prices down and our customers appreciated that.
