<<Corporate taxes are merely another solution to the political problem of how to hide taxes so that people do not realize just how much they are being taxed.>> ...or as an age-old political aphorism puts it: "Don't tax you, don't tax me! Tax the guy behind the tree!"<G>

Corporations pay taxes on net income. They should pay taxes on gross revenues just like individual tax returns. This would put an end to the poorly managed companies. Companies that cannot sustain profitabiity put unrealistic pressure out of profit margins and create unrealistic swings in the economy. The government spends way too much time justifying deflationary pressure on pricing for telecom services, transportation, and other goods and services. They think this is good for the consumer - in reality it is bad for the economy and the consumer.
