What happens when Governments raise taxes on big Corporations?

We know many people love to see Corporations pay higher taxes, but do those
same people see any benefit from it?

What happens? The big corporations send lobbyist to wine and dine members of congress and convince them to bury exceptions and loopholes in the tax code (not to be confused with tax instructions). If that doesn't work they increase the price of their goods and/or services to make up what they lose in higher taxes. And meanwhile they close US factories and outsource production to China,

@Heartlander Yep, all the power is still in the hands of the government. They protect
their friends. Corporations cannot FORCE any of us to do anything. But Governments'
CAN. Why do people put so much trust in the Government?
