We need corporations to pay taxes

Corporations do not pay taxes. You pay their taxes.

Corporations have people behind them who own portions of the corporation. They pay taxes. And as Mark17 says, you pay taxes on the goods and services behind the corporation. The corporation passes the taxes to the consumers in the goods and services that are created. The profits that are left, are either plowed back into the corporation for growth or R&D. The profits are heavily taxed when the shareholders trade or cash in the shares or dividends. I own stock in a bunch of companies. And I pay a lot of taxes whenever I sell stock.

There is a huge anti-corporate sentiment going on. I notice it in movies and TV shows where a corporation is cast as an evil entity to do battle against. It's a socialist sentiment and anti-capitalist by leftists who want to plunge us into a one-government socialist run world. It's sickening.
