A man after my own heart. I've long been saying that corporate tax rates should be zero, but all dividend and capital gains rates should be taxed at regular earned income rates. What we have now is this weird system where income earned through investments is taxed twice (first corporate, then dividend or cap gain) but each at a lower rate. Just normalize everything.
