Oh contraire... you seem confused. If a corporation earns profits (corporations ARE 'individuals' under well established US law... a fact you do not attempt to deny), then those profits are 'income' to the corporate individual. If you have an equity position in that corporation, or own their debt, then anything you earn from that oqnweship is 'income' to you. It AIN'T complicated. Nobody is 'giving' you anything out of the 'goodness of their heart'. If you earn rewards by investing wisely... working your brain rather then your back, then I'm content to call that 'income' and tax all income (regardless of source) at a low, fair rate... WITHOUT special interest exceptions. The government should not be in the business of telling some people that their work is valued, and telling others that THEIR work isn't valued. Wheither you work using your brain, or your back, one flat rate should apply to all.
