It's not that simple. One could just as easily make the case that workers get a lower salary due to higher corporate taxes, therefore they should pay a lower tax rate than owners. In short, it's not at all clear that a higher corporate tax rate is purely a tax on owners, and nothing else.

Employees are payroll taxed, that is different and regardless of the company's income, net or otherwise.
I'm certain the amount of profit after taxes affects the wages a company is willing to pay. Do you really think they are completely independent?
