It should just be taxes. I'm not opposed to collecting money from businesses, Liz Warren has some decent ideas on that, but regardless of government grants or subsidies received, they should all be paying their share of taxes.

But it’s not. Republicans in congress completely refused taxes. Even on those earning billions.

They probably figured equality before and under the law as well as the tax code might cover that. Then again, the wealth of the country was built on slavery and robber barons. Which you could simply call wholesale criminality.

It sounds like some sort of ownership or bribe to me not taxes.
