> Businesses that spend less money on taxes can spend more money on expenses...

Does that actually happen? Small businesses, sure. My cousin's restaurant directly ploughs that money back into the business.

But it seems large corporations mostly do executive bonuses and stock buybacks.

I guess my pendant comes down to my objection over treating all "business" as the same, morally and economically. As though megacorps are same as my cousin's restaurant, my uncle's farm.

Whereas I favor excessive generosity for small and young businesses (and farmers), anything less than levying repeated radical cashectomies against large firms is a moral disaster and economic selfown.
