Also, this tendency of trying to pass tax burden off on corporations strikes me as particularly short-sighted.
If you make corporations pay higher taxes, who do you think is really going to pay? Corporations are going to make their money whether you like it or not. If they pay higher taxes, they'll raise their prices to compensate. Who will be hurt most? The guy at the bottom.
Corporations aren't owned by Satan, believe it or not. They're owned in small bits and pieces by everyday people like you and me, assuming you're smart enough to save and invest some of your money instead of blowing it on depreciating consumer goods.
