So not only does the corporate income tax impose an unseen, incremental 40% tax burden on the vast majority of individual taxpayers, it also reduces the buying power of those too poor to pay income taxes" (Christy, 2006, p. A17). Discuss the assumptions about the nature of the corporation tax implied by this statement using the tax equivalence relation-ships provided in Table.
