Corporations don't pay taxes, they just collect the money from their
customers, tack on some profit and pass it on in the cost of the
product.

It is just a way to put a hidden tax on the consumer, similar to a
VAT. The only problem is you punish the American company for doing all
of it's business inside the US. If you are a multinational, it is very
easy to make all of your "profit" in another country. Hence the
companies you listed did not make a "US profit".

Really... the CEOs don't pay taxes either, apparently. Nobody has
"punished" companies. Their effective tax rate is quite low. Nice try
with the right wing agenda talking point though.
