Just intuitively, periods of high corporate tax rates in the US were accompanied by significantly greater purchasing power for laborers. Obviously it's a little hard to tell if that is the cause, since post-WWII America was an entirely different beast, but I think high corporate tax is really not the end of the world.

Regardless, we got rid of almost all corporate tax, and did that really trickle down to average laborers? Er, no, I think decidedly so.
