Good. Corporations aren't people. They cannot pay taxes any more than your land pays property taxes. Taxes will always be paid by flesh and blood. It'll be passed onto either the shareholders or the consumers. Fuck that. We pay enough taxes.

Oh I agree with that completely. There shouldn't be any corporate income tax. Or income tax in general honestly
