There is a point somewhere in there, that left-wingers have a strange way of assuming that corporations are rational wealth-maximizers that will abuse the system as much as they can, whereas individuals will not, so that taxes and transfers will have no adverse effect on behaviour. And before someone cries hyperbole, yes, I've seen plenty of left-wingers claim the latter.
Corporations have the luxury of being much more rational, and thus able to game a system, than individual people. Individuals have a lot less time and money to game a system and are much more greatly impacted by social pressures not to screw their peers. Taxes are
one factor that can have an effect on behavior. Right wingers like to act like it's the
only one.
