I have to say I'm surprised at the sentiment here that the companies shouldn't be taxed a higher rate than currently.

It's disingenuous to claim that companies are paying the fair amount of taxes on their earnings.

Plainly speaking, the human labor who will be replaced pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes that corporations.

Simple well known and preventable accounting tricks make the rich never need to pay a fair share. Yet regular people are now even seeing their electricity bills go up because they're using the infrastructure to such an extent.

Yet the sentiment here is : Well don't be silly, they're making profits so they're paying taxes.

They're not making a profit, yet they're reducing employment, increasing services bills for everyone else.
