it's ridiculous that corporation should pay 35% on it's income, and then person receiving dividends from that corporation should get taxed again and pay another 43%... no?
so either dividends should not be taxed OR corporations shouldn't be taxed... otherwise same income is getting taxed twice...

Employees pay income taxes then state taxes, sales taxes and property taxes.
The point being is everyone gets fucked not just one little group of business owners whom happen to have it good right now with lower taxes. The argument isn't about making someone else pay higher taxes but making everyone pay their equal share so the burden isn't stiffed on a specific group like it is right now with the Middle class paying the bulk of the taxes in this country despite earning less money than the 1%.
It's obvious that neither side will actually cut their spending as long as lobbyist own the political system, so until that is fixed we all should be paying for the spending equally. Maybe if "everyone" had to pay their equal amount then perhaps the spending would finally get nipped in the butt.
