There's a lot of argument that they should not be taxed.

I don't really care.

But if you let them vote because they were taxed- that's simply letting them buy votes- and I'm not really very hot on that idea.

Isn't it also double taxation? If a corporation is not separate from the shareholders, why should the profits of the corporation be taxed first at the Corporate level and then again when distributed to the owners/shareholders?

You might be right there. take the taxes away from the corporations and adjust the stockholder's capital gains taxes back where they should be. 80 or 90% sounds about right.
