The corporations should be taxed as well. On worldwide income. If they don’t want to pay their employees a decent wage, there should be an additional tax for every employee they have receiving government benefits to recoup the cost. The problem is, these mega corporations profiteered extensively from Covid while the small businesses went under. It’s time for a reckoning and to relieve the tax burden on the middle class.
And thus we begin a circular argument.
The corporations never pay taxes. The taxes are always paid by the consumer of the goods. So more expensive goods means that corporations need to increase wages passing that cost along to the consumer again. And so the inflationary spiral escalates as the goods again become unaffordable.
Most democrats will respond that there’s no evidence that corporations pass their costs along to the consumer. At which time i disengage from the discussion.
