I have always been of the opinion that Corporate Income Tax was a way by which politicians hide taxes from the people and that only people pay taxes.

It seems to me that every business has some sort of return on investment they are striving for, and that a corporate income tax is just another expense that must be collected and passed on like sales tax. It seems strange to me that the public can see they pay sales tax but support politicians that say they are going to increase the tax on 'big business'.

So what do others think? The Republican debate ask a question like 'Which section of society pay an unfair burden of income tax The Rich, The Middle Class, The Poor, Corporations'. No one even mentioned Corporations don't pay tax, people do.
