I’m not ignoring your point, you’re missing mine. It’s not increasing taxes on profits. It’s increasing taxes on specific expenditures.

If they choose to continue to operate as they’ve been, they will pay substantially more in taxes, which can be used to socialize necessities as I originally stated. Otherwise, they could reinvest the money into payroll and receive increased payroll tax credits.

Read through Biden’s tax proposal that I linked above. It’s a very smart way to coerce corporations to spend more money on standard payroll over CEO stock payouts.

You can use taxes to socialize necessities all you like, as long as they control prices they will simply raise them and decrease purchasing power respectively, as long as some corpo has a monopoly on a product/service they maintain control of that product, taxes cannot take away anything from them
