Government can wreck a business by confiscating its money by taxation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The power to tax is the power to destroy.
Government can't create wealth, but it can create the conditions for private enterprise to flourish.
Corporations must pay tax.
An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, the power to destroy.
People should have an escape valve for their money, their assets. If you have substantial financial assets, the government is going to confiscate the purchasing power of those assets and spend it.
Don't make government work like a business... it's inherently inefficient.
Business money is limitless.
Most large companies structure their affairs so that they minimize their tax payments. As long as you do it within the law, it's OK.
You can't have a situation in which companies proceed on a permanent basis relying only on cash from the government.
When businesses face tough times, one of the first items they cut is overhead expenses. The government should do the same.
