Your argument is based on corporations existing within a closed system within the country. But you're ignoring the ability of money leaving the country without being taxed.

> Personally, I hate the idea of corporate income taxes - they're literally stupid. You can't tax corporations, you can only tax people.
but according to law, corporations are "people" arent they?
I would put some limits on estate tax rates at certain thresholds. Like, anything above $50 million, tax at 90%. And hey, the kids will still be rich, just not crazy billionaires. For private companies this gets tricky and for many companies they would be forced sellers, that's one of the big trade offs. Exempt farms if necessary?
