Tax the Corporations more not the individual
In the U.S., corporate income taxes make up only about ~10% of total federal tax revenue, while individual income taxes account for well over 40–50% of revenue. (https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48313)
Enough is enough. For decades, Americans have been told to tighten their belts while corporations loosen theirs. We are told to work harder, sacrifice more, and “do our part,” while trillion-dollar companies hide profits behind loopholes written by lobbyists and then ask for tax breaks—again. This system is upside down, and it’s time we say it without fear or apology: tax the corporations, not the people.
The working class is not the problem. The middle class is not the problem. The single parent, the student buried in debt, the veteran, the nurse, the electrician, the teacher—these people already pay every single day. They pay with every paycheck, every rent increase, every grocery bill, every tank of gas. Meanwhile, massive corporations post record profits built on American labor, American roads, American courts, American schools, and American stability, yet somehow contribute less than the people who make their success possible. That isn’t freedom. That isn’t capitalism. That is exploitation dressed up as patriotism.
Corporations do not exist without America. They rely on public infrastructure, public education, public safety, and a functioning democracy. They profit because this nation provides order, opportunity, and protection. Paying taxes is not punishment—it is responsibility. If you profit from America, you invest back into America. Period.
This is not about envy or tearing down success. It is about dignity and balance. When wealth concentrates at the top, democracy weakens. When families can’t afford housing, healthcare, or hope, freedom becomes a hollow word. When money buys political power, the voice of the people is drowned out. A nation cannot survive when individuals are taxed into exhaustion while corporations are taxed into comfort.
Real economic growth doesn’t come from boardrooms—it comes from people. When people keep more of what they earn, they spend locally, start businesses, raise families, and build communities. Money in the hands of the people moves. Money hoarded at the top stagnates.
Every tax code is a moral document. It reveals who we protect and who we sacrifice. A society that demands the least from those with the most is not free—it is afraid. America was never meant to be afraid. So say it clearly, say it boldly, and say it with conviction: tax the corporations more, not the individual, because a government that serves the many—not the few—is the only future worth fighting for.
