Corporations don't pay taxes anyway. Their customers, employees, and shareholders pay the taxes the government uses corporations to collect.

Corporations tend to pay net pre-tax profits to the employee/owner as a bonus rather than suffer two levels of taxation.

The Government Accountability Office said 72 percent of all foreign corporations and about 57 percent of U.S. companies doing business in the United States paid no federal income taxes for at least one year between 1998 and 2005. I didn't pay taxes one year also because my business lost money that year. I sure as hell paid more than my fair share the other years. The heading of the article is pretty typical yellow journalism.
