If the corpo is taxed more on income, it lowers the profit margin, which probably would make them not especially keen on reducing it even further by paying more to their emloyees.

Noone is going to decrease their profits to pay less taxes. You only pay a fraction anyway, how would that even work?

It becomes a balance of "were losing it anyway, might as well use it to attach/keep good employees.

Instead of giving it away to Uncle Sam

They would rather set it on fire than pay people more. They want to keep everyone just barely below water. Almost no corporations are looking to hire good employees, they're looking to hire desperate people.
