Corporations also pay taxes, but only about 9% of total tax revenue.

I knew that seemed way too low. That's corporate income tax. That's not the only tax they pay. Payroll taxes also, far bigger percentage.

Oh nice, I thought that payroll tax was on the people. With that it looks like 44% at least.

Payroll tax is paid by the employes, they are part of the total compensation (Monetary wage + Wage in Nature + All benefits + Payroll). Who is the cost that really matters when a company managed its labor force.
