The tax burden is 100% on the shoulders of people, they just don't realize it. Taxing corporations (who in turn pass the tax on to consumers) is just a way for politicians to hide taxes from people.

Corporations don't pay taxes, people pay taxes.

IMO, shifting the taxes away from corporations would be more honest, as people would quickly see just how much of their money goes to the government. I suspect between federal income taxes, local income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, and hidden taxes on corporations, most people's tax burdern exceeds 50% of their income.
