Corporate welfare is real. If we can't force them to pay 5heir employees a livable wage, then tax them to compensate.

Trump stupidly cut them. They need to go back up and more! I'm tired of the nations finance and debt being paid off the backs of the middle class. I'm tired of the people of this country getting screwed by the rich!

Because they are entities not people, and people, mainly blue collar, should not have to carry the United States and big corporations on their backs! We are the ones who work to make the money for these companies, many of which don't pay a living wage.

The companies will just raise the cost of everything and pass the cost down to the consumer. It's the way Democrats destroy America.

Corporations are the people that provide us with the most jobs, if you tax them extreme amounts they're not going to want to employ as many of us.

Also all they will do is pass on that increased tax rate, so that means the prices of everything goes up for all of us

They will just pass the increased tax on to the consumer in higher prices. or reduced compensation to their employees.

These taxes would be passed directly on to consumers. This would fuel inflation.

Corporate taxes are not paid for by corporations. They are paid by consumers. This is the middle class tax hike Biden promised would not happen. It is simply disguised as something someone else pays. Just another lie.

I have one of the doses and feel safer already. It's good to be part of the solution, not the problem.

Herd immunity= Normalcy. Economic stability. The vaccine actually only took a few weeks to create, as it was based primarily after SARS. The reason it took a year was for testing, which was for side effects but most importantly dosage, efficacy rate and immunity time, and scope (# of strains)

Not afraid of a COVID with a 99.7 survival rate in my age group 95.8 for 65 and olde. I would be more like to be hit by a car than die from COVID,. I would rather keep my immune system up naturally this is the real Science not the Hype you see on TV

Vaccines EXTEND the immune system to include the disease the vaccine is for, it doesn't 'deplete' it. In fact, it avoids all other non lethal symptoms associated with natural immunity. https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/immune-system-and-health

Depending on the virus and the vaccinations it should be canceled if everyone going is not vaccinated and tested negative.
