Also, most people aren't employed by the type of giganto corporations people are mentioning in this thread, like Google or Apple. Most people are employed by the very long tail of small businesses, whose owners are decidedly not ultrarich demigods. From your small consultancies to the sort of cafe I'm sitting in right now, lowering the corporate income tax will have a huge impact on how many people they can employ and what sort of prices they can charge. All of the small business owners I know don't want to make themselves absurdly rich. They just want to have a comfortable, middle-class life and help other people do the same.
