really asshat? when a corporation breaks the law, who goes to jail?
No one said it wasn't a legal entity. You really need to go back to school and lear reading comprehension.

No it doesn't, it encourages short sited economic spending. A corp. sitting on a pile of savings can weather many more downturns than a company who spends it every year so it doesn't lose whatever the % of the year is.
Why would a corp. save 1mil a year when say 40% of it is lost at the end of the year to taxes?
That 40% stifles growth. period.
but hey, it makes the rabble feel good about taking money from those evil corporations.
