    Nah Bro, it’s biased against poor and pro rich. Taxes on income are nothing the company pays, it’s paid by the employees.

    Taxes on profits and gains are circumvented by “declaring necessary investments” to set the net profit to 0.

    I know there are cases where this is legit, but I doubt, Amazon and others just steal.

      From an economic perspective it’s largely the same.

      Research and development is important for long term growth that’s why governments do their best to financially encourage it.

      But this is Lemmy. Might as well be talking to a spam sandwich when it comes to economics.
