Maybe so, but individuals who are salaried, will pay taxes.

  Individuals are just company’s resource, like hardware, or IP. They are not the company itself.

    Not exactly relevant. However, a company does not exist without people.
    • trasz2 4y ago
      It doesn’t exist without other resources either. What I’m trying to say is, “companies are people” is not true - decisions made by companies are not the decisions it’s employees would normally make if they were not selected - or forced by circumstances - to be aligned with company goals instead of human goals.

        > “companies are people” is not true `Citizens United` was a mistake yes.
        • trasz2 4y ago
          Citizens United doesn't matter. What matters is that companies are vastly privileged compared to humans, eg they don't bear criminal responsibility for anything.

            They could, it's just more of a DIY situation.

  That’ll include parliamentary VPs.
  • dekken_ 4y ago
    Yes, but they are also paid by taxes, and they hardly are going to pay the entirety of their salary in taxes.
