This is fundamentally an ideological argument that evades actual understanding of ownership. While there are quite a few privately-held corporations, the ones you generally recognize as "huge" are not owned by a few rich dudes/dudettes, but by millions of ordinary Americans including 401(k) and other retirement plans. Furthermore, they are large employers with some of the more competitive compensation packages.
Realities like this essentially make the Corporate Tax Evasion bogeyman a hoax. Business taxes are always...... always..... paid by the consumers in the form of higher prices and whatever retained profits increase shareholder equity, which is generally quite spread out among ordinary people.
Stock Market performance is often bragged about by Presidents, though few have had so much to brag about than Trump, though it's mostly due to him just not being such a damn Marxist as Obama, Hillary, or the delusional dems of today. But even Obama was not a genuine Marxist. He was overtly hypocritical on that claim. He was a fascist, he did everything to control everyone in the picture and make damn sure nobody told the truth about him. He threatened journalists, and actually set his agenicies, including regulatory agencies and the intelligence agencies to make sure he was the big damn rooster in the coop.
He was corrupt as hell. He bragged about how he was going to kill King Coal. While he was overtly acting to destroy coal mines and coal power plants, and everyone was in a panic to sell, he and his insider clique were buying huge quantities of the stock. This is a time-honored tactic in government officials, one of their many cash cow operations that enrich the powerful and powerfully-connected politicos. In investor terms is a version of reverse "Pump and Dump", where market manipulation is the key to insider wealth.
Our congressmen...... our Representatives and Senators..... get very rich on their bills that unevenly affect markets of all kinds. Everyone goes out to buy stocks that will be favorably impacted by upcoming legislation, and they short the stocks that look to be losers. Of course, most of them use family members to do the buying and selling so it doesn't show on their own tax records....
And besides that, we have scores of Bidens with their gunnysack boys Hunter who clean up the payola everywhere they go in this damn world, winking and nodding at the interested folks who can slip them some cash somehow.
And then we get shitass lawyers who go around explaining how legal and honorable it is for every corporation to have some politically-connected boys on their boards, like Hunter and Burisma, while dropping names in our bureaucracies doing some investigation about their corrupt practices. Of course our agencies always look the other way after the investigators get a little consideration.
This is how fascism works, at it's finest...... before the honchos actually get the power to stuff deplorable and troublesome folks into some damn gas ovens.
China is today our least accountable fascist states, where the few honchos actually have the greatest control and the greatest power to profit from people's bone-grinding labor. Russia is the second most concentrated political manipulation zone. Places like Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela are very bad too, as is Iran.
Not even funny we have people who don't understand where the socialist/fascist do-gooders are really going to take us.
