This is capitalist propaganda.

Corporations will continue to exist as long as there's a profit to be made. If they have to pay 10% of those profits in taxes or 80% they're still making money and there's still a profit incentive.

The idea that a tax on profits will drive a company out of business belies a fundamental misunderstanding at best or deliberate deception at worst.

Think of it this way: what if there was a 100% tax on profits?

Why would anyone invest money in that venture?
