"Since we seem to be in agreement that corporate taxes are built into the price of their goods & services (like a VAT), then I can only assume that you're in favor of raising the tax burden of the poor
as you increase corporate taxes." --- You assumed wrong. You are arguing the point of a person who believes that rich people at the top will always push their responsibilities on to the poorer folks, so poorer folks just need to accept that rich people have all the advantages. No. You assumed wrong. There is nothing positive about corporations hoarding money offshore... unless you are a person who is in the market for a larger yacht.
