The problem is that corporations have value, assets, and money. And more importantly they can leverage it.

If we moved to a 0% Corporate tax and relied entirely on income tax then we'd start to see all manner of schemes for Executives to avoid taxes. They'd do things like taking little salary but instead being issued Corporate spending accounts with limits comparable to what they'd otherwise earn in salary.
