It similar to the stupid statement “tax the corporations rather than people”. Really, where does the corporate money come from to pay those higher taxes? It comes from customers who now face higher prices so the company can pay the higher taxes. Ultimately corporate taxes are paid by the customer.
Another dumb chant by the left and politicians: “The rich don’t pay their fair share!” Really? The top 10% of wage earner (the rich, income greater than $440,000/year) pay 72% of all taxes. The bottom 50% (less that $45,000/year) pay less than 3% of all taxes. You’re right, the rich don’t pay their fair share...they pay too much. After all, they are the ones who invest in the economy, create new jobs, and generate economic growth. Also, politicians wrote the tax code with loop holes so the rich would give them donation. Harris had 4 years to do something about taxes, but did nothing.
