By that logic, isn't taxing lower-income people taking even more money out of the economy, since poorer people spend a much higher percentage of their earnings?

100% of $10 is still less than 20% of $100 but taxing corporations doesn’t do the same thing as taxing ppl and the purpose is to remove money from the economy not ensure everyone fairly contributes to the national coffers. We should be working on the most effective way to remove money from the economy not worrying about who’s paying what.
When you have an agenda that wants to spend an additional $6tillion do you really care that much about tax revenues? (On top of the $5 trillion from the past year) At that point does it really matter how much you collect? You’ve clearly given up all semblance of trying to balance a budget.
At this point we’re pretty deep in the new-age progressive economic policy ideology, where taxes aren’t about building up gov coffers but rather taking money out of the economy, so does it really matter how the money is taken out? Why are you so concerned with taxing corporations when it’s much easier to tax people?
