So corporations should have literally zero disincentive to make money? Is that what you intend to argue? Because that seems to imply that corporations should be completely unfettered in every conceivable way, be it legal, economic, ethical, or otherwise. Am I missing something there?

You're erecting a straw-man, stop it.

"Disincentive" is not the same thing as "impediment." This isn't to say I necessarily agree with the parent comment, but you seem to be responding to an overly strident reading of something that wasn't quite said.

Yes, you are missing that the idea is to tax the money when individuals get it out of the corporation for private use. Right now capital gains and dividends taxes are relatively low.
