Give me a fair tax with wise spending.

Instead of taxing individual citizens of Alberta more heavily, I don't understand the aversion to raising the corporate tax rate.
Less than a decade ago it was 15 percent. Now it's 10. The first deficit arrived after the tax rate was lowered from 11 to 10 percent.
Instead of burdening Albertan tax payers who spend most of their income in the province, why not return the tax rate to 15 percent for Alberta's corporate citizens who spend much of their profit outside the province?
