These taxes are paid by various stakeholders and entities around the business. The public gets the tax income and uses it for services to allow the business to operate.

Do you feel the cost/value of having the ability to a call a number and have a well trained team put out a fire in minutes that could ruin your business is 0 or free? What about rules/services that allows your business to have an advantage over another in a different region?

Taxes need to be paided by everyone. Corporations use more services than you would think and rely on a stable government that they need to contribute to.

Getting more money in the hands of governments is not going to do to us any good, they will just increase spending.

It will end up being: increase in price -> increase in government spending. Everyone will pay the increased prices, governments will pocket a % to keep their employees busy or employ their friends for public work, some of it will be redistributed to a portion of the population.

I believe taxes shouldn't be paid by anyone and governments should disappear.

No, of course not. (Why the insulting tone of your rhetorical question?)

How many publicly traded companies have you started?
