Corporations have to spend a lot of time and effort restructuring their business to account for corporate taxes. In the short run they take a hit but in the long run it is the middle class who gets punished. When the government give food stamps, they artificially increase the price of food significantly and take middle class tax money. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

They also have to take time lobbying for Republicans to lower their taxes, because they really don't like taxes. 

Again, you haven't acknowledged any of the complexity of how money moves. 

There apparently is a free lunch, because Republicans love to give corporations free money and subsidies.

Illegal immigrants do hurt the economy overall. For example, they are undercutting hard working Americans and a lot of them work under the table. Also, a lot of their families are still back in Mexico where feeding them is a lot cheaper than here in America.

They're mostly taking labor jobs that Americans are completely uninterested in having. Which is why Trump has given many jobs an exception.  

We have to back our corporations because they are the only reason why our money is worth anything. Plus, they create a lot of innovation that makes our lives better. For example, Microsoft can be evil but they have provided us more opportunity than most companies and made our lives better for the most part ( damn you windows 98).
Americans are willing to do the dirty tough jobs for a decent pay. Pay me 30 dollars an hour and I will pick up hay as a freelancer without question.
