This will work in the short term, but over time, less and less companies will want to fund something that will be taxed at such a high rate.

I also think that if this much tax money is going to enable people to not work, the people paying taxes should have more control over how the money is used.

If health care is universal, more control over foods consumed risky health-related activities.

It only needs to work in the short term for the idea of "the for-profit company" to go the way of the buggy whip, and then we can move on to more interesting things.
