not asking the pot stirrer

unless the stock just keeps going up

such as Berkshire

you still have a debt burden to attend to or it would increase every year up to a point to become prohibitive

Not if the stock goes up more than the rate of interest obviously, which is not uncommon.  And basically, with a billion in net assets, you're never going to run dry before you die. 

then why borrow at two million a year with a billion nest egg theres no need

Greed.

avoiding taxes is smart

we should all be doing that

So, corporate taxes are more like 18% - not 6%.

Employees who work for corporations are paid and pay income taxes.

Corporations are evil?

I don't know that I'd say that... I think the chart is much more accurate putting them as "social insurance taxes" rather than corporate taxes. They're VERY different from a "corporate income tax". They're paid on behalf of the employee by the corporation, of course, but that's mostly an accounting trick to hide the actual cost of those programs from taxpayers. Since they only see the portion that shows up on their pay stub / W-2, they think those programs are half as costly as they truly are. 

Now, the one area I would quibble with is that social insurance taxes, whether paid by the employee or employer, are basically just "income taxes", and there's limited value in separating them out from that. Because they are by definition 15.3% of an employee's income (up to a limit for SS, which is 12.4% of that, of course). 

But for the purposes of the chart, I can understand why they're separating the two.
