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.

As the owner of a corporation, I find the table misleading.

As the owner of a corporation, you're smarter than this. I think you're just triggered because, as the owner of a corporation, you think the purpose of the chart is to show that corporate taxes are too low.

Any monies you withdraw from various accounts are taxed as income.
