Why do people care so much about Corporations paying no income tax? (1 Viewer)

They are the job creators.  They should do what they want.
Well then small businesses shouldn’t have to pay taxes either since they are also creating jobs. Plus if you think about it, consumers are the ultimate job creators so they shouldn’t be paying taxes either.

 
Yes they create jobs but let’s not act like that’s some huge sacrifice they are doing society. Corporations are making profits for investors and executives. Also do they really create jobs? It depends 

The surprising truth is that over the last twenty five years, almost all of the private sector jobs have been created by businesses less than five years old.

Companies older than 5 years are more likely to be job destroyers than job creators.

The problem isn't so much whether corporations pay tax, it is that the owners pay no tax.  It matters not whether Microsoft pays the tax or Bill Gates pays it, but someone should.  Microsoft itself could pay zero, but if Bill Gates net worth goes up to $40 billion, he should be paying tax.  As is, he can accumulate massive amounts of wealth tax free.  That is the real problem.  

 
Corporations rely on government-funded infrastructure to survive - thus corporations, and their owners, should be funding those expenses.
