We Don't Need a Corporate Income Tax [Bloomberg View]
Megan McArdle has a plan: "[T]here is no such thing as a fair, simple corporate tax code that can’t be gamed. And the harder we try to squeeze them for each extra dime, the harder — and more expensively — they will resist. So here’s my proposal: Let’s not try. Let’s eliminate the corporate income tax, or at least lower the rate so far that they won’t spend so much time and energy trying to avoid it. […] Eliminate the corporate income tax and take the money from people. That’s what you’re doing anyway, so do it in a simpler, fairer and more progressive way, by raising income taxes on the wealthy and taxing capital income (dividends plus capital gains) more like ordinary income."

Think twice before going down this road: "As companies try to retain top employees and hit growth targets, some are ditching the annual salary review and doling out raises and bonuses several times a year. The practice can be risky, compensation experts and executives say, since workers who respond well at first could grow unhappy if the rewards slow down."
