Does anybody know if any research done that shows if taxing Big Business will help or hurt the count

The two opposing views go like this:

1. taxing big corporations will alow us to make more money, and at the same time reduce taxes that the middle class and poor pay.

2. Companies will simply leave the U.S. and we will actually lose revenue forcing us to tax the middle and lower classes even more than before, while raising the unemployment rate and forcing some employees to take pay cuts, and effect the quality of the product or service sold by these companies.

2 makes sense to me, but one is also possible, does anybody know if there is any actual proof either way?

Should we raise the taxes on coroprations, or keep them low to keep companies in America?

News Flash:

Big Business doesn%26#039;t pay taxes, it simply passes them along to the consumer. So, raising taxes on companies simply means raising prices for consumers. The tax burden is shifted back to the people. When the taxes on a pack of cigarettes is raised $1, the prices goes up $1. When gasoline taxes are raised, the price of a gallon of gas goes up.

There ain%26#039;t no such thing as a free lunch, as the saying goes.

Edit: Thumbs down for stating the obvious? Heh.
