As Mitt Romney famously said: corporations are people my friend. Which is to say, they are made up of people. Anything that is benefiting a corporation is benefiting those people. Those people pay taxes. That is how the fair share gets paid.


Tell that to Apple's 200B+ war chest, or to the profits that are distributed as dividends instead of being paid out as wages. A lot of the wealth created by corporations is not subject to income tax (only capital gains tax) and overwhelmingly benefits only those who can afford to be in the market.
