Exactly. So why the double taxing?

Basically the implication is that we should tax people more when they act as part of a productive collective (corporation), which to me seems counterintuitive.

I don't see it as double taxing.

The money the company makes and the money the people make are two different streams of income and capital.

You are not taxing the people twice. You are taxing them once and the company once. A company is an entity in itself and it has a cash-flow, revenues, profits, expenditures and savings all of its own, separate to the people it employs.

It also uses up land in entirely separate way to the people it employs.
