    Yeah, something else that is really inconvenient for a lot of people, is the comparison between the amount of money brought in by corporations and income taxes and individual people.

      What do you mean? From that wiki page it looks like personal income tax is more than 5 times what is brought in from corporations

        I’m thinking that’s the point. Individuals carry five times the tax burden than corporations, yet we bend over backwards to protect corporations. Why?

        IMHO, corporations are responsible for so many of the countries’ problems, while contributing very little in support. No wonder why people are waking up and saying “fuck corporations” (or at least, “fuck the corporate tax structure”).

        It came out many times that billionaires end up paying much lower rate of income tax than test of is or in some extreme cases none at all. Add to it that income from corporations is also quite small and it is clear that the middle class is actually paying for everything. We have billionaire freeloaders.
