Corporations do pay taxes. Granted some don't pay a lot respective to their worth, but C Corporations all must file an 1120C. S corporations do not pay taxes, the net income is passed along to the shareholder.
Again, apples and oranges - Corporations don't pay taxes. They pass them on through increased prices of their products/services. The more you raise taxes on them, the higher the prices go, which affects the consumer, not the corporation.
For the record, I don't believe in taxing SSI, disability, or unemployment. That just defeats the purpose of the benefits.
Goofy, this is not directed to you personally. I don't know your situation. but since you put it in your note, I am touching on it. In the field in which I work, I come across many/many families on food stamps, welfare, unemployment and I just do not buy into the notion that a completely capable adult cannot find enough work to manage their basic bills. Is it hard? yes. Will the work be what one really wants to do all their life? no. Does that mean working more than 40-50 hours a week? maybe... but it can be done and frankly, if one wants to make a better life, he/she has to do everything in their power to make it work. Get roommates, work 3 jobs, sell all of your possessions you can do without.... It's just a different mentality than what most people today have. We all make choices... Sometimes you have to make the real tough ones in order to have more/better choices in the future.
