Ding ding ding. It's amazing the number of people who think that private property is this "natural right" and then goverment comes and "steals" part of it, when in fact the institution of private property and its enforcement is precisely what the state does, without which your company wouldn't exist! This means courts, legislature, law enforcement, an army. Even more generally: your company ultimately only exists because the country provides you with a stable environment and millions of well-fed people with money kn their pockets to spend at your company. So you actually have a lot to pay society/the state back for! I'm very partial to a georgist/mandatory public shares approach because of this.
