Corporate taxes are a tax on consumers ...
No. Corporate taxes are
literally taxes on corporate profits (after deductions).
Those profits (that are not taxed) mostly go to dividends for stockholders, stock options or stock buybacks to benefit managers, and usually translate into higher stock valuations for stock owners. In short they go
many places. To think profits not taxed are all distributed to consumers in lower commodity prices is
preposterous. The price of commodities produced and sold depends as well on many factors: market conditions, competition, the price of labor and capital and resources, available technology. The ability of producers to raise or lower prices is constrained by the factors mentioned and also by other factors like the “elasticity” of demand.
Don’t buy into the myths of corporate lobbyists!
