That’s not how the system works. You have to add in multi million dollar corporations with paid lobbists which do not pay one dollar but enjoy the benefits. I pay more taxes than GE.

No corporation pays taxes.

They collect taxes from their customers.

Why ask GE to collect taxes for the government? If the government wants more money from the citizens, let the government collect it.

No one pays taxes but some of the end-users. Boop's explanation simply describes how the collection system works.
