"Your argument falls flat because you assume that businesses, if allowed to keep more earnings and pay less taxes, would use said money for altruistic purposes or to grow the business, i.e., expanding plants, hiring more American workers, pumping more money into community projects, etc" And you assume that if we tax them that they will do this? Or are you suggesting that companies no longer want to grow and prosper? Does not sound logical to me. "Corporate America doesn't give a rat's ass anymore about the worker, the community or altruism" Your hatred for corporate America is duely noted.

re:"Your argument falls flat because you assume that businesses, if allowed to keep more earnings and pay less taxes, would use said money for altruistic purposes or to grow the business, i.e., expanding plants, hiring more American workers, pumping more money into community projects, etc" Actually, I thought the argument was that the same income is taxed twice. Once as corporate income tax, then again when the owners pay individual income taxes(on dividends or stock sales).
