Here is your moral imperative that I mentioned earlier is your secret reason behind rationalizing the corporate tax:

I figure that along with the right to ownership of property, society has an responsibility to provide people born into poverty with a chance to succeed. I propose that by providing a good education and a safe environment to operate in, the American dream can live.

The problem is that your means achieves the exact opposite of its intent.

Your claim that "society has a responsibility to provide people born into poverty with a chance to succeed" requires that someone knows who is in poverty. If I put on a show of poverty, should you be taxed to give me money?. Forget that.

If you can identify who is in poverty will your steps to prevent them from staying in poverty succeed? Have we in the US learned nothing from the last 40 years of trying to do that with the outcome that the same percentage are still in poverty.
