As if that shouldn't have been a thing to begin with.
Corporations are there to maximize profits. Not defending them, that's just what they are.
And this is why profits above a certain threshold need to be taxed to oblivion.
Massive profit cannot be the single goal.
Taxation is a bandaid solution. Strong taxation is also not realistic as long as the nation is dependant on the economic growth of their domnestic companies.
You can't build a sustainable economy based on a system which has the competition of free agents at its base.
