Plus there is the consideration that corporate taxes are just a cost of doing business, no different than labor or raw materials, and will be/are passed on in the price of the finished product. Just as a general principle/way of looking at who actually pays taxes, however they are disguised. ARS

<<Corporations do not have a vote, therefore they should not be taxed. Basic principle.>> This is a human society. Corporations are not human. They are creations of people and must be governed by the people in the tribes best interest. Corporations have no rights. They are not real. Only the people and their representatives of the tribe have rights.
