The world extends beyond the US and there are places in the EU where a 50–55% marginal tax rate is a thing.

I’m not against paying taxes at all, my comment was about MS (in that case) making over 300bn and paying 0.00$ of taxes while individuals make 10–100k and pay significantly more taxes than MS Ireland did on their 300bn. I don’t think that’s fair. Furthermore, individuals are unable to make business deductions that MS and other companies can (and spend pretax dollars to buy things while the rest of us spends after tax dollars)

My post was to point out that corporations are massively advantaged in comparison with actual, alive human beings.
