Why is this wrong? If you want to argue for higher corporate taxes then fight for them and make an argument that wins in the majority of people's minds. The tax cuts from last year encouraged companies to repatriate money from overseas though some of that is still sitting abroad.
I think Corporate "Tithing" is a good thing and should be encouraged. The Government of California has repeatedly shown that they are slow to develop housing so why should we think this time should be any different?
- lotsofpulp 7y agoIt’s wrong when the same entity doing the “tithing” is also paying to lobby for lower taxes. I don’t know if Apple is or isn’t, but it’s frequently the case. Similar to someone that votes to decrease assistance programs from the government available to everyone in order to “donate” to their personal causes (or tribes).
- Traster 7y ago> If you want to argue for higher corporate taxes then fight for them and make an argument that wins in the majority of people's minds. Do you think that's an accurate description of how tax rates get set? > The tax cuts from last year You mean the set of tax cuts that have never had a positive approval rating[1]. Wouldn't they be a perfect example that actually no, you can't get higher taxes by convincing the majority of people?
