You seem to have the idea that these corporations should operate as sort of philanthropic organizations. That doesn't work particularly well.
What you want, higher corporate taxes, results in the corporation avoiding them as much as possible while raising prices to offset the taxes they can't avoid. The majority of taxes a corporation is going to pay in America will come straight out of the pocket of an American who buys their product. If you want to see a benefit from a corporation's operations either go work for them or invest your money with them.

You dont have to be philanthropic or charitable to be responsible. These corporations do not reinvest their wealth and profit, they hoard. Think of all us consumers as cattle. We consume, we reproduce, they reap. If they dont feed the cattle it stops. Nothing for us to send them in way of capitol investment, nothing to boost their profit from increased sales. You have to reinvest with the ones who support you.
