Yes, it is backwards. But most economists agree that companies should not be taxed. Well, they should be taxed for things like carbon emitted, waste, resources used, value-added, etc.., but their income and profits shouldn’t be taxed. Economists see the taxes paid by companies as being paid by their owners. So, if a poor person owns a share and you tax the company, the poor person pays taxes. Better to have the company disperse profits to their owners and then tax the rich owners. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2012/07/19/157047211/six-policies-economists-love-and-politicians-hate https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2012/07/19/157047211/six-...
