Trump dropped corporate profit tax - There Won't Be an Economic-Boom - Prof. Richard D. Wolff

 "[Corporations] want Mr Biden to be just like Mr Trump when it comes to taxing corporations, namely not taxing them. He's going to have a lot of problems. And therefore he's not going to be able to pay for these spending programs with taxes, because the corporations won't allow it and the mass of people don't can't afford it. So he's going to borrow the money which takes our already huge, unprecedented deficits and makes them larger, and makes our already record-breaking national debt go up even higher even faster. And that runs all kinds of economic risks." - Richard Wolff
