Corporations don't pay taxes...What if we didn't? What if we didn't allow that? What if we actually held corporations feet to the fire like we do old people?
Nah, can't do that. Corporations donate more money back to politicians.
If you start a new tax across an entire industry, you've just F'd the lower income consumer as they'll now have to pay more for those products...corporations don't pay taxes - the consumers do.
