As corporate taxes are on net profits, that is not, strictly speaking,
true.
Fair enough, but in the end... the money paid in corporate taxes came from the consumers in general. It would be better to place limits on non-invested liquid funds a company can hold, paying out dividends and nuking the corporate tax structure all together... taxes on "profits" would be paid by investors (from dividends).
