It's a ruse to fuck over the middle class. They've always sold Americans on "tax corporations to be fair" rwrr rwrr rwrr, then provided all the loopholes and tax breaks after the fact, not to mention jacking up product prices to stick the middle class because that's how those darn taxes gotta get paid. The lyin politicians get their votes, corporations get an extra wheel barrow of money, and John Q. Middleclass' eyes glaze over reading income tax procedures and instructions. He gets robbed by the IRS, robbed by the politicians, duped by the warm-and-fuzzy sound of "fairness", and then they kick the shit out of him. How's that?
