Re MBS: "In 1997 the Feds collected over $100 billion in corporate income tax revenues. In addition, dividends which were included in the corporate tax base are taxed to the person. Now these tax levies could be higher, and corporate attorneys may be useful in keeping them lower than they might otherwise be, but in any case this is double taxation. In this matter, if not others, you have no idea what you're talking about."

Jeez, you'll be carrying on about the inequity of the capital gains tax next. Corporations' ability to minimize tax liabilty by shopping around for offshore tax havens makes a mockery of any claims of fairness whatsoever in this matter. I honestly can't figure out why you waste time trying to correct the thinking of dunderheads like myself when your valuable insights could add further to the luster of major thinkers like, say, Steve Forbes.
