The only entity that can pay taxes, ultimately, is the individual consumer. "Corporate Taxes" are a myth. If the government wants to raise a million dollars to buy diapers for needy babies, and charges the Great Big Diaper Co. a $1,000,000 tax for the purpose, then Great Big Diaper Co. is going to have to lay off $500,000 worth of employees and raise their diaper prices by $500,000. (Unlike the government, GBDC can't just print money.)
Now you have more needy babies and diapers are more expensive. Good job, government!

This, of course, presumes that the government INTENDS on getting more people less dependent upon it.
They'll "help" you all the way to their teat.
