It’s ridiculous we are trying to find more ways the government can rent-seek. Corporations are taxed on profits, they are taxed when they pay employees, the employee is taxed on their income, and the employee’s post tax dollars go to pay sales tax, the remaining money goes to businesses that pay tax, and then the whole thing repeats again. The government is a literal parasite on the economy.

I am repeatedly surprised when people argue that lower taxes don’t improve the economy, it’s as obvious as water being wet or the sky being blue.
