What is the "fair" share of taxes for a company to pay to local governments? Please quantify and show your work.

Local governments are primarily funded through sales and property taxes. Many tech companies that don't sell products to consumers don't collect any sales taxes. And if they rent their office space then they don't directly pay property taxes, either.



Fair is 1-10x minimum wage.

next question.


Huh? There's no minimum wage for corporations paying local taxes.
