No, they will expand operations, hire more people which will affect the number of available candidates in general, resulting in hire wages due to supply/demand - along with them gaining experience and being able to command a higher wage as they progress.

Of course they will.

Otherwise, why not keep increasing the corp tax rate?

I'm not arguing that taxes should go up. I'm just pointing out that believing that corporations will pour that money into jobs and raises out of the goodness of their hearts is naive.

...I don’t believe they have an obligation to do so. I’ve nothing against “the rich” - most have earned it by producing things others want and working hard. I’m not rich but I’m willing to work at a supply/demand rate, finding my way to make myself as valuable as possible. If that intersects, at some point, with making myself rich then great, if I just have to keep working then fine too.

This notion that the government has some responsibility to force money in certain directions is a form of tyranny. It creates its own problems. Policies that “take just because it’s fair” only lowers all boats, creating equal misery. Some just don’t like the ability for some to outperform others because they’re willing to learn, work, innovate, and be rewarded for it. Stopping this process isn’t good for anyone. How can a poor person get themselves out of poverty if there’s nobody that has more than they do? Having the government just taking from those that “have” to those that don’t is just government sanctioned theft. It is still immoral.

I believe a healthy, and free market, economy leads to reasonable wages. The only responsibility “the rich” has is to pay a wage based on market demands, they’ll have no choice. They have no responsibility outside that.
