"And many of those make no money, or lost money in the past and can set current profits off against some of the past losses." It's been said Corp's pay taxes only if they want to.....some of the wealthiest have gotten refunds....

You keep going off on tangents but that never obscures the fact that your arguments are losing ones because your understanding of reality (not ideology which is nothing but opinion) is wrong. This kind of wrong-headed thinking is what has us paying out trillions to CORPORATIONS headed by equally wrong-headed thinking management. If corporations are taxed on profits and not revenues, maybe we should start taxing people on profits and not revenue either. So instead of taxing on income, let's tax on how much of that is left over after all expenses for keeping said individual up and running to work everyday. Now that's an interesting idea.
