Dear ray, does it not work like this. you and I are free to invest in companies the conserve their capitol and don't give it to the government. Thus if we invest we will receive larger dividends and we will pay taxes on the income. The tax code is stupid and using it's stupidity to favor oneself in not unfair (all are free to use the stupidity.) and I'd call that smart not odd.

But if you wish feel free not to take what ever exemptions and deductions you are entitled to and pay more taxes by all means. You are free to do so. I call that fair and odd.

As to a company, I believe it is the duty of officers of a corporation to create wealth for the shareholders, not to pay taxes they can legally avoid.
