So according to the crazy quasi socialist left's skewed logic the government should burden corporations with confiscatory taxes so they don't fire people?
I have issues with your characterization of taxes as "confiscatory". Who paid to educate the company employees? Who keeps your company safe from theft? Who protects your intellectual property? Who ensures you have roads for transportation, access to ports for shipping your goods, railways, waterways, and other means of getting your goods to markets. Who built the infrastructure that supplies heat, power, clean water, and resources to your company? When someone owes your company money and refuses to pay, who pays for the contract enforcement system that is the civil courts?
Did you think those things are all free or that companies shouldn't have to pay their fair share of the costs to provide these things? That's what taxes are - Your share of the costs of running a first world country. You don't want to pay taxes? Move your company to Myanmar where there are no taxes. See how well you do there.
