Huge gaps in our budget could be safely filled if we simply stopped coddling these companies.

It once was Social Security, but the teabaggers and their republicans in crime have effectively manipulated the mindset of their base to the mindset that corporations are a) people, b) if those corporations don't pay taxes, they will hire them.

The people just have not figured this out yet.

would get some relief as well, since their taxes would not keep going up and there would be enough tax revenue to do more to help the citizens.

But actually, they can only pass on so much of their expenses to consumers as long as there is competition, because they cannot price themselves out of the market. Another reason to worry about monopolies.
