"tax cut" means they don't have to pay for the social commons they utilize, and proudly abuse, far more than individuals.

It means they get to tear up our roads with their semis, clog our courts with their business profit arguments, monopolize our public utility infrastructure, and have access to a publically educated, preliterate workforce they directly profit from without paying for the education the next generation to receive while expecting the fruits of it, which is why it's still clownshoes moronic that big capital doesn't pay for all college, as the rational developed world enforces they do.

No large business can credible claim to have found success in the first place without any of these and more benefits of operating within society, but they want people like you to defend them while they lobby and succeed at getting all of it as a hand out for free after all the tax cheats they get installed for bribes.

Big capital wants to suck all value and meaning from your society for themselves alone for a quick buck, yet you come off as grateful to them for it.
