Isn't this actually a good situation, from the point of view of the tax collector? Corporations can afford to spend a lot of money figuring out tax loopholes and financing schemes so they can avoid paying taxes. But your average high-income individual can't. You might as well let the large corporations have lower taxes, pass on the extra revenue to shareholders and employees, and then tax the shareholders and employees.
