OP's point is that corporate taxes don't work like that. As a business owner, you can avoid taxes by reinvesting in your business, capturing the positive outcome by way of valuation. If corporate taxes are lower, owners are incentivized to extract profits rather than reinvesting them.

Well, OP is very bad at finance, and his points only apply to certain investments. For instance, most jurisdictions treat capital equipment as retained earnings (it gets more complicated when you get to devaluation and re-sale, but those only matter if the business survives).
By reducing the expected outcome of a new venture, taxes discourage marginal entrepreneurs from starting businesses.
