I wonder why that is such a difficult concept for most people to understand.

Bravo.

I've been trying to explain this to people for years. What we have however is a system where politicians believe they can get votes by creating a boogie man. They are usually big corporation, "big oil", (which is not even an entity), the rich and some others. By raising taxes and punishing these bad guys, politicians convince people they are helping them and thus get them to vote for them.

We the people need to learn that every tax comes out of the pocket of the ultimate consumer. Corporations do not pay taxes. They simply pass the money from us to the government. Then the government somehow convinces us that making these corporations take more money from us to give to them somehow benefits us.
