Previous poster implied that all businesses are influenced by government so the non-profit status does not have additional bindings. I answered that if all businesses are regulated by government regardless, why collect taxes at all, since they are all extensions of government willpower.
- Dylan16807 7y agoThe reason the government collects taxes is to make money, not to extend willpower to the businesses it taxes. The extra influence for non-profits is a side effect and not very large compared to baseline laws. It's not a goal, and it wouldn't make up for the loss of revenue; it serves a much smaller and completely different purpose.
- joshuaissac 7y agoThe impression I got from their post was that businesses are just as prone to government influence as non-profits,[1] not that they are all extensions of government willpower. That does not follow unless you assume that all non-profits are also government puppets. 1. I am not saying they were right or not because I just don't know, just my reading of the post.
