Would you accept the forced sale of 1% of your personal income-earning ability each year? You get to keep 100% of your 2021 salary iff you can outbid the highest bidder?

I see no reason to antromorphize limited liability companies.

(But just to note, currently I am forced to pay tens of percentage points of my total salary as taxes.)

I do not understand why public ownership should be a prerequisite for anthropomorphic treatment of companies. A thing is a thing regardless of who owns it.

As for taxes, yes we all pay more. But we do not have our earning power attenuated each year because the government forces us to put ourselves on some incremental slave block.
