The only argument you'll tend to get is a strictly emotional, highly irrational one. Namely that without an income tax, corporations will just pile up cash forever, and somehow magically that'll make wealthy people wealthier. This argument will include the notion that only CEOs and uber rich investors control all public corporations, and they'll find a way to steal all that cash without ever paying taxes on it. That 'somehow' the rich will game the changes and all that will happen is the corporate income tax revenue will disappear.
