getting rid of corporate tax would simply increase inequality, because wealthier individuals can employ corporations more effectively to gain even more advantage.

if you equalize tax treatment (not just rates, but other things like carryforwards) across people, corporations, and capital, wealthy folks wouldn't be able to game the differences like they do now.

international competition can be addressed with tariffs, which is already quite prevalent but are used for petty politics rather than to level the playing field in international trade.
