those big companies pay tax, and that tax pays for things
That seems like a bad take.
- Money is imaginary, literally just a system to bring a certain order into society.
- Money is created by countries (with banks as the middlepersons). It's not created by tax payments.
- Money doesn't provide food or shelter – food and houses do that; money doesn't teach people – other people do. I.e., it's people and things that create our wealth, not money. All the money in the world is absolutely no use if there are no goods or services to exchange for it.
- Big corporations, especially profitable big corporations tend to pay the least taxes. Corporations are not particularly creative overall, except in avoiding contributions back to society.
