Taxes are a pass-through item. The consumer bears the brunt of corporate taxation through pricing mechanisms. And it can be no other way. A business sets its prices with built in coverage for taxes, overhead and profit. Of course it is to their advantage to minimize their tax liability to enhance profitability, but in the end it is the customer who bears the price for taxes, not the business.
Politicians use "paying their fair share" as political tools, not as real concerns. Amazon, Exxon or GM paying more in taxes just means the customer pays more for their services. Silly argument from a consumer perspective.
Hardly any of them do.. for instance Amazon warehouse buildings are not owned by Amazon, and neither is the property they sit on. They basically write all of that off since it's not on the books as being theirs. Also get tax breaks by counties they move to, in exchange for the tax cuts they provide thousands of jobs.
Tax codes are definitely made to screw over the middle class and provide loopholes for big business.
