That's nonsensical and not even close to what was being said.

Taxes are not a moral issue nor do they have a victim. The proposal isn't to eliminate them entirely, only to remove corporate income tax and make it up in other changes for a net win for the economy, and it's perfectly reasonable to discuss.

Your argument is totally irrelevant to corporate tax rates. I’m not advocating for legalizing murder, stop being ridiculous.

The key difference is there is no large industry of lobbyists working for reckless driving and murder. If there was, I daresay some rethinking would be in order, even in these cases.
