@maporsche,
The idea that corporations cannot pay taxes or somehow they will become unprofitable is ludicrous! If ordinary poor citizens, who don't even earn a living wage, can give their hard-earned money to pay for roads and the military so can corporations... Corporations should be charitable without tax write-offs. Charity should be given with a free and unfettered heart and not coerced or it is not charity at all, it is a wage.
Corporations, CEOs and the people directly under them should pay taxes like everyone else or it is unconstitutional. Equal representation under the law. All "people" are created equal.
Corporations fought (paid off Presidents, senators, and judges.) to become classified as "people" so, as "people" they need to pay their taxes like "people" do.
Corporations are people too? Well, "people" pay taxes.
Corporations are destroying natural habitats of wildlife and poisoning rivers and not paying the taxes that are necessary to prevent and repair the damage done to the environment. THIS IS THEFT!
