I don't see how tax is a valid point. 99% of individuals and corporations do not have their spendings - that's not only the net flow, but also the breakdown of revenue and costs - revealed to the public. To imply that they might be dishonest, and that dishonesty will not be caught by the government, would mean that everybody has to release their spendings to the public. Mark Zuckerberg could be cheating on his taxes. You could be cheating on your taxes. Surely you don't want to cause financial harm to the rest of us?
- yongjik 10y agoWith greater money comes greater power. With greater power comes greater responsibility. Publicly traded companies already have to disclose salaries of their CEOs, but not their janitors. Same logic.
- Tinyyy 10y agoYou complain about the status quo and then cite the status quo in your argument?
- johncolanduoni 10y agoYeah but publicly traded companies have to do that in an effort to protect shareholders, not the general public. The logic is very different.
