Who would you rather pay the bill?

I would rather cut the bill. We do not have a taxing problem, we have a spending problem.

Can we agree to disagree?

Here is a simple example of why "double taxation" is claimed for dividends.

Take a single owner business. The earnings of the business are taxed but the owner is not taxed again when he/she takes distributions of those earnings.

In the case of a corporation, the corporation pays taxes on earnings, but when the owners (shareholders) receive some of those earnings as dividends, they are taxed again.
