1) The market will self correct. Not everyone has the long term vision or efficient capital allocation like Buffett. If this encourages more Buffetts then it's a great outcome for the society.

2) Corporations absolutely should pay 0% taxes. Why do we tax entities that provide employment, innovate and provide goods and services? It's so backwards. The amount of time, money and resources spent by corporations avoiding taxes can be used for other productive purposes.

All taxes should be captured at an individual level.

Corporations should only be taxed for usage of non-renewable, public goods so that they are incentivized to optimize for that

That comment I made about the money getting bedsores, what would you classify that as? Like I get its exaggerating or something but I can't quite put my finger on what its doing? Seems like a humorus melding of literal/figurative or something
