A corporation is a person, but it's a legal fiction. The corporation is simply a gathering of non fictitious people who come together to collaborate and earn revenue as a collective. Each of those people pays taxes from their salaries like anyone else - they pay their fair share.

So what is a tax levied on a corporation? It's simply an additional tax levied on the human people who make up the corporation. They're already paying their share, now they should be paying more?

If you're just a lowly employee with no control or insight into a corporation's finances, you might think it doesn't matter to you. Wrong. You're part of the corporation too. Money the government is taking out of the corporation is money that could potentially be added to your paycheck if the corporation prospers and you play your role.
