<<But in summation, individuals pay most taxes in this country, not corporations, who pay approx 10%. >>

Of course it's on individuals - 100% on individuals. Corporations are inanimate, legal entities. Their employees, customers and owners are the taxpayers, not the entity itself.

<<If you maintain a tax structure like this, with federal budgets being what they are, >>

Good point - with the federal budget as a % of GDP growing larger and larger in the last few decades, of course the challenges of running balanced budgets becomes darn near impossible.
