If you’re going to appeal to capitalism at least try to understand how it works.

The money invested has to be repaid and, that reduces taxable profits. Eg Amazon is spending so much investing, it takes time to have a taxable profit in the UK. Amazon was making losses for a long time, because of their level of investment.
If you borrow, the capital has to be repaid.
It can take years to see an overall profit from any investment.
