Profit

Let's not forget when corporations argue for lower taxes, they're not arguing for the cost of their services or products, they're not arguing for the cost of the employees, they're not arguing for the cost of the supplies they get or use, they're arguing for the after tax profit, which is the money they give to the executives, shareholders and investors.

Raising the taxes on that doesn't change anything else, only the amount of their after tax profit. They're whining over the free money they earn above everything else, money they got from their customers, us, and we have every right to ask they share it in the form of taxes.
