But the question is why is it that way? Why can't it be that the corporations pay taxes and then people will say "people shouldn't have to pay taxes because the company they work for does."

That is not the question most people ask though.

When people bring up the fact about corp not paying tax, they never include the income tax of the employees. They never include the fact that the corporation creates thousands of jobs that pay income tax.

I don't mind corporation paying income tax for us. But that seems like semantics where we simply get paid less because the tax is already paid.

I don't think I'm against that idea. Maybe there might be interesting impact on the compensation.

I think people are concerned that the saved taxes don't go towards employees as much as they should. I'm not saying it does or it doesn't, just that it's a common sentiment I've noticed.
