Sorry, I've no idea how to read your first sentence.
Your second one - that's how everything public is paid for. Private individuals pay tax, either through their corporations paying corporation tax or the tax bill on top of their wage bills, which a) drives up prices of the goods and services they offer, or depresses wages, and b) funds all the public sector employees and orgs that don't pay tax (orgs) or don't pay net tax (employees).
Not surprising.
The point of my first sentence is; private individuals and small businesses generally pay their fair share. Larger corporations emphatically do not.
What's not surprising?.
Larger corporations pay loads of tax. Shed loads. They pay all the employee and income tax, as well as corporation tax and their sales generate VAT. Small businesses are the ones most likely to have softer tax burdens due to progressive taxation.
