Arguments to the contrary are never persuasive.
BTW, tax individuals the same as corporations. It'll all come out in the wash.
Or, you could tax corporations the same way you do individuals ~ with no reference whatsoever to profit or loss ~ just a GROSS INCOME TAX.
Sure you could and, as profits are INEVITABLY reduced thereby, you could watch as the hope of job growth evaporates, job losses accelerate and unemployment soars.
Profits disappear, jobs disappear, wage and salary income disappears. This sounds like the Disaster’s economic policy to a T.
