Whenever elimination of
corporate/business taxes are mentioned, people get excited. People
have been conditioned to see corporations as greedy entities. We see
this conditioning happening all the time on television and in movies where
CEOs are seen as Scrooge types who care more for profit than human
lives. There are some who might be much like the Scrooge character,
but there are many more who care for their employees. What we can't
forget is that the CEO's primary obligation is to the stockholders.
Sometimes it's hard not to hate a corporation when you have to deal
with tech support or try to solve a simple billing problem. I
sometimes feel like punishing them myself, but I know taxation should
never be about punishment.
