I take issue slightly with the bolded portion here. If you really believe that business doesn't pass along increases in taxation to the consumer to protect their bottom line for the shareholders they must answer to, then you are fooling yourself.
So, my contention is that increases in rates toward corporations, whether they are derived out of class envy, or governmental greed and control, ultimately hurt the people.

In addition to what Hare pointed out, you could also check out what I originally posted in this thread.
To be honest, I really don't see why we have a corporate tax rate.
Corporations don't pay taxes. They're charged a fee by the government which they pass on to consumers through the price tag. All corporate taxes do is raise prices, make us less competitive abroad, and decrease demand. They hurt the consumer, they hurt the worker, and they hurt the business. I would much rather the corporate tax rate be dropped altogether and have revenue made up through some other, more visible, form of taxes.
