Peter, I earn income from my occupation and the Government levies an income tax. Then the Feds also assess a SS tax - the second tax. I spend the money and the state assesses a sales tax - the third tax. I receive some of the money back in my SS tax and it is again taxed - the fourth tax. I save some of the money and, if I am wealthy enough, the Feds impose an inheritance tax - the fifth tax.

You are hallucinating.

As I pointed out --- under US law for nearly a century now --- corporations are considered to be INDIVIDUALS (with 'infinite life'). (You keep skipping over that little detail....)

All I suggested was that ALL INCOME, *regardless* of source, should be taxed at the exact same rate.
