Corporations are not part of the community... and should not be allowed to dilute citizens´ tax representation
Sir, Michael Skapinker holds that “Business has lost its place in the community” August 14, and frankly I wonder if business ever had a place in the community. I mean, when a corporation does good things for the community, that is not really out of a sense for the community but because it is building up its image… a sort of clever advertising expense.
No, communities should be about people, and in this respect the tax on corporations should be 0%, because corporations should never have the possibility to dilute the tax representation of the citizens. In other words it is for the owners of the corporations to have a sense of community.
And with respect to Skapinker´s comments on bankers and their manipulations I agree…slap them hard on their fingers. But, Skapinker should not ignore that the manipulation of how bank credit is allocated in the real economy, performed by regulators with their risk-weighted capital requirements for banks, has been and is much more harmful for the society than any of the other bank manipulations currently spoken of… and in this respect Mark Carney´s behavior, as the current chairman of the Financial Stability Board, is “highly reprehensible” too.
