Explain what source the corporation’s tax money comes from if it isn’t
coming from the customer.

Did they get a government grant to pay the tax or did the corporation
print the money to pay the tax?

The end result of a tax on corporations is that the customer pays the
money when they buy the toaster…. and the tax is “in” the cost of the
toaster.

Similar to a VAT, the corporate tax is hidden in the things the customer
buys.

That’s why I call Obama’s NEW VAT tax VAT^2 because essentially it will
be a VAT on what already is a VAT.
