> Taxing a business is taking real money away from payrolls

By that same logic, taxing personal income is akin to taking money away from the goods/services/investments that that person would've spent that foregone income.

There's nothing special about businesses that warrants them special privileges.

The special privilege is that a business is a group of people all of which get taxed individually.

Money goes into the business, gets taxed, and then goes to employees and taxed again or to shareholders as profits and taxed again.

Why tax twice?
