a corporation is a vehicle for doing business, not a person lining their pockets.

When a person profits from a corporation, there is a tax event. A corporation bringing in money is just an action of business, not a profit event. its not profit until a person puts it in their pocket. The government already taxes that but because of a stupid electorate, we tax money brought into the corp wether its profit or not.
that's wrong and it stifles the economy.


You really need to go to school and learn what a corporation is. It is a LEGAL ENTITY, which means it has its own rights and liabilities seperate from its owners. In legal terms it is its own person, so of course a corp should be taxed.

From an economic standpoint having a corporate tax encourages businesses to put profits back into the system, whether it be hiring more people, purchasing/leasing equipment, investing, etc. Which in turn creates economic growth.
