    If we tax them they won’t be incentivized to make more money, thus depriving the market of needed jobs. /s

      This is true in the way they may just move overseas, but the frees up the local market for new business and competition!

      OR aggressively union-bust and lobby the hell out of congress until, well, we get what we have now: corporate plutocracy.

      Just like we never should have bailed out corporations we should not worry about taxing corporations or the rich. The void will be filled and more rich people will be made. That’s how the “free market” works. If you do not let companies die innovation slows and the economy rots. Rich people may not be motivated but some poor people will be.
