My point is that you, yourself, have benefitted from corporations. You DO, in fact, own/use, eat, and wear things that were made by corporations. So has the rest of the American public.
That's no point.
All corporate items any of us has used have been at the corporate price point. In many cases, subsidized by our tax dollars.
That's exactly the point. The prices you and everyone else pays for goods and services would be higher without corporate tax deductions.
You might want to research that, historically there is no drop in prices when corporate taxes go down, they simply pass the increased revenue to their stockholders or executives.

As a consumer of corporations' goods and services, you, too, benefit from the lower prices made possible via corporate tax deductions. If you have a pension or retirement account, you benefit yet again via corporate profits.
I have no idea why liberals seem to be incapable of comprehending those very simple facts.
