I think you’re absolutely right, but I also think you raise some deep, difficult questions on what kind of society we want to live in, what kind of society is sustainable over time, and how we should treat people as they age (who may be unable or unwilling to keep giving 105%). I also think it demands that corporations pay a fair share to support the society that they are a part of.

Honestly, talk of corporations to "pay their fair share" is a distraction. The government has proven itself unwilling or incapable of applying effective taxes on corporations. Even if they did, the taxes are ultimately born by consumers, and a ton of waste is created as a result (see the number of people who work full time in corporate tax accounting). The cycle from "they don't pay their fair share", to new tax policies, to failure of those policies, to "they don't pay their fair share" is a distraction that prevents us from taking straightforward steps that would help workers tremendously, like a law to require overtime pay for salaried workers who don't get equity.
