Why would a CEO support higher corporate taxes? What is the benefit of such an increase? Who pays for the repairs of the roads and bridges across America? Who does the most damage to each on a daily basis? How much of the responsibility should be attributed to corporate use?

In a recent video on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough discusses the revelation that Amazon CEO supports an increase of the corporate tax to support President Biden's infrastructure bill:

Corporations get away with paying very little fees to support or repair the damage done to move products that pay their shareholders.
