Taxes on corporations are not necessarily progressive as implied here.

First, you have to decide what you are taxing (revenues, value-added, profits) and realize there are strong incentives to avoid taxes through the miracles of accounting.

More importantly, a corporate tax is not often born by the company. . . .

This is certainly true in principle, but what is your empirical basis for the statement? Most evidence leans in the direction of the tax burdening capital.
