It doesn’t matter if corporations pay taxes because the money just flows to people who own equity in or work for those corporations, and they pay taxes.

There is simply too much power in the hands of the corporations. I mean, Amazon literally had dozens of city governments falling over themselves to give up enormous tax goodies and red carpet roll out all for the weak promise of 50000 jobs and an HQ2.
