Corporations have to prove they're real — and taxing a ghost hurts no one, even you, MAGA

Flip the burden of proof. A human doesn't have to prove they're real — they bleed, they breathe, they can be jailed, they die (the Inviolability Test: if it can't suffer, it can't be a citizen). A corporation is the one claiming rights it was never born into, so it carries the burden: prove you're real before you vote with a checkbook. It can't — and that's the tell. From there the tax argument writes itself, and it's party-blind on purpose: a tax on a ghost hurts no human being — not a worker, not a family, not a MAGA voter, not a blue one — because a ghost has no breath to cost (only people go on the “minimize” side). That's the pitch across the aisle, said plain: even you, MAGA — this one's not red or blue, it's human vs. ghost, and every human wins (Dear MAGA, you're right about the swamp; fill the pool). The only thing a corporate tax threatens is a thing that was never alive to be threatened. And the flip side of taxing the ghost is taxation to the people — the money doesn't vanish into an account, it flows back toward the humans (the floor, the pool, the clinic; the reverse pledge drive made a tax code): take from what can't bleed, give to what can. Kin: corporations-aren't-real, tax-the-ghosts, only-corporations-pay, the dignity floor, Dear Liberals (both letters, same weight). (His coin — machine's read, party-blind by design; refine to his.)
