That is why corporate taxes end up hurting workers more.

Dude. This is a completely unsupported contention. Your attempts to support it have mainly wound up badly, with you asserting things like the difference between profit and income being irrelevant, citing papers while falsely claiming their provenance, and appearing not to grasp the basic principle that a profitable worker is always a good hire no matter what the tax on profits.

For example:

And a tax on profits just make the marginal product of workers diminish at a faster rate once the break even point is reached where the company starts paying tax, because marginal returns are always decreasing.

This never happens, because the tax is on profits, not on value added per worker or on income.
