I think the farce that corporations are just "individuals" like anyone else needs to end and individual earners should not be taxed at all or all taxed at exactly the same rate.

It's not a matter of whether the Fedz take it or not, this started with "revenue neutral", or didn't you notice that? It's a matter of letting individuals keep what they earn rather either Federal or Corporate extortionists taking a share then praising the fact that some small percentage of it trickles back down to them after the various special interests and preferred parties take a slice.

Actually, it is.

Are you a communist? I'm sure you'll say, No!

And why not? I'm sure you'll say, Communism is government ownership of the economy's means of production.

I set this up to throw this out, something I thought about the other day:

A 35% corporate tax rate means that Fedzilla has a 35% ownership of every corporations net profit. We are all viscerally anti-communist, opposing 100% government ownership of the means of production, but many here are OK with a 35% government ownership of the means of production.

So are we FReepers 1/3 communist?
