A Grand Evasion: How Corporations Deprive Workers, Government, and Society by Widespread Tax Avoidance Undergraduate
Abstract
Corporate tax avoidance is a growing concern for the
stability of America. Corporations are able to avoid paying their
dues to society and instead extract economics rents from both
workers and the government. This paper will begin by proving that
the typical neoclassical assumptions about marginal productivities
are flawed and that corporations have wage setting power. The
second section will include an analysis of the strategies for and the
prevalence of corporate tax sheltering, including a few case studies.
The third section will address the negative externalities of tax
avoidance on citizens and the government, and the fourth section
will culminate the argument with a discussion of possible reform
measures, including an extremely creative idea. The goal is to
illuminate the irresponsibility of corporate tax avoidance and to
encourage cooperative global efforts to redistribute income from
the companies who hoard profits to the citizens they take it from.
