Real talk though corporate taxation is a regressive tax on the poor, because costs get passed on as the tax is universal.
Better option is just taxing the wealthy directly. Harder, even significantly harder, but better in all respects.
Bullshit. Eliminating corporate taxes just lets the conglomerates off the hook while doing nothing to make them stop their price hikes. They'll always find another pretense to squeeze as much profit out of the people as possible.
What would ACTUALLY work is direct price ceilings, increasing the federal minimum wage to at least $20/h and closing every loophole so that what anti-profiteering and antitrust laws are ALREADY in the books actually get enforced.
Fuck minimum wage. UBI now.
If you mean UBI coupled with strict price controls then HELL YEAH!
If you mean without, though, they will just raise prices enough to render it absolutely meaningless other than as a talking point for dishonest demagogues like Andrew Yang.
We definitely need price controls too, yes.
Sure, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good (or better).
Right that's why I don't wanna raise taxes on the poor
The poor poor corporations. Won't someone think of them
Funny how when taxes for corporations go down, prices go up, taxes for corporations go up, prices go up, billions of dollars of loans are given away for free to corporations and forgiven prices still go up, and record profits are recorded across the board by corporations prices go up.
I don't think it's the taxes on corporations making prices go up.
A) I'm not worried about corporations, but about people
B) all the resentment in the world doesn't change how math works
