No, corporate tax is of corporate profits, which is just capital gains that haven't been dispersed and may be dispersed in the future (or may be reinvested). Salaries and wages are not profits, so they are not subject to the corporate tax. In theory, the sum of the capital gains rate + corporate tax rate is supposed to approximate the individual income tax rate.

But because most people will never understand this, we can't have a tax code that makes sense. Mass democracy is incompatible with sensible rulemaking in this area.
