The problem is that big corporations are raking in the billions whilst at the same time paying unrealistic salaries. Plus, in many western countries employees pay enormous taxes on top of that. The system is rigged towards the rich - their companies don't pay the same taxes an average Joe company pays and they can afford creative accounting to keep much more of what they make than me and you. This has to change!
I am sick and tired when next politician claims they'll rise the tax for the rich, and then it turns out me and you have to pay even more whereas your CEO laughs and buys another Bentley.
- fakedang 6y agoI always roll my eyes whenever another hard-left politician such as AOC or Corbyn comes over and does the whole big talk about how corporations ought to be taxed fairly and all. And later, when they are in power, they call for actions such as (favorable) censorship and what not, while doing zero about big corporations because it's easier to control (and pander to) one big entity than multiple single entities. As long as corporate entities are allowed to donate to political parties, and as long as fundraising remains some kind of race in the eyes of the media, expect this nonsense to continue. Politicians don't care about taxing corporations that they like. You'll see them do the whole dance against Big Oil or Walmart or whatever, but when it comes to Big Tech, boy do they love their Apple toys and Google Internet.
