There's no contradiction in those statements. Think.

Nothing inconsistent there. Corporations really are just aggregations of people, and people already get taxed. Heavily. Taxed when we make it (income, capital gains taxes), when we spend it (sales, excise, and use taxes), when we own it (property taxes), and when we die with it (estate taxes), "they get you coming and going" -- and everywhere in between. The corporate tax is just another way of double taxing at the income phase. Of course, you might not understand, sitting at a fat union job performing the minimal "assigned tasks" given you, then spending the workday surfing the internet and posting leftist propaganda, all at the payroll expense of the owners of the public corporation who are told the union employees work too hard for a meager living, and who are taxed on the corporate profits (if any) before they're even paid to them. What are you adding to your company's taxable bottom line? If you worked a little harder, would there be bigger profits to double tax?
