Every wage earner faces the equivalent of double taxation without objection

Evidence

As for the double-taxation argument, it’s interesting that it comes from corporate shareholders as opposed to small-business owners. When I pay taxes on my wages, then pay the electrician to fix some wiring in my home, the electrician pays taxes on the payment received from me. It’s how most retail and service transactions work—yet no one ever argues that the electrician is being taxed twice. Meanwhile, with the corporate tax rate now at 21 percent (down from 35 percent in 2017), it’s hard to believe that corporations and their shareholders are shouldering an undue burden. — Dorothy A.
