No business, no matter the size, pays any taxes, we pay them for them.

This ain't rocket science.

If a business does not receive enough revenue to pay their taxes they ain't gonna be a business for long ! And if a business does not make profit, why would they stay in business? To lose money?
Sorry to tell ya it is a totally correct statement !

We pay higher prices so that businesses have the money pay their taxes.

Otherwise why would anyone be "in business?"

And those high salaries, which I agree are too high. are taxed separately ! Again, using the profit from the cost of their goods and services. Which we pay !
