General / Re: want to fund government without any "stealing" so gov can build a fire station ?
« on: November 07, 2014, 10:57:07 AM »What are the corporations getting ?
business opportunity and access to other legal benefits
Vague

-- for example, limited liability protection,
So wiggle room to violate people's rights without repercussions? Not comfortable with that.

preferred status in bidding on government contracts, etc
The only money government has for contracts is what they've collected from corporate taxes. There's no way that's going to come out in the black in general. At best a few corporations could benefit at the cost of most.

When the profit derived from the business opportunity and legal benefits
exceeds the amount paid in taxes, everyone can clearly see succe$$ by the math.
Well, of course. This is the perfect example of the logical fallacy known as begging the question.

That said, both business opportunity and legal benefits can be difficult to quantify
as they can be valued differently (ie fuzzy value) by each person/corporation.
To someone outside of the corporation, this "fuzzy math" may make it look like failure even when it is success.
Still not doing anything to inspire my confidence in this idea.

Also, a corporation may intend to suffer losses short term for longer term gain, etc.
Those who give up in business because their start-up cost put them in the red, don't understand business.
No argument there. Don't see how it's at all relevant. This entire post is basically a non-answer. You're making corporations pay not just for benefits for them but for benefits for everyone. How is this going to make any economic sense? How are they not better off going with some alternative service in the market that only makes them pay for the benefits they actually receive?
BTW, your explanation for your giant text makes no sense. What you write is for OUR benefit and none of us is claiming any difficulty reading it. You're obviously reading our small text somehow. I still think you should observe some basic netiquette and not use obnoxious attention-whoring text style.
